<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The challenge is here: http://www.snowdon500.co.uk/</p>
<p>I was chatting to my GP last autumn and suggested that he should check my prostate. In a jiffy he had his finger on the possible problem, and he then sent me off to see a consultant. </p>
<p>A PSA test indicated that all was not well, and that my body needed a good service. Subsequently I was scanned with massive machines looking at bones and wobbly parts - not a pretty sight!</p>
<p>Fortunately it looks like they've caught the naughty bits fairly early, and I was eligible for a procedure called brachytherapy. I'm now walking about radiating!</p>
<p>Girls! What's in it for you? Well, bearing in mind it's reckoned that over 50% of all men have prostate cancer at some stage or another, it could be your bloke!</p>
<p>So, the question you need to ask is - "Do I still love him?, or should I keep stum and let nature take its course?" It's a tough call!</p>
<p>But while you're trying to work that out, why not sling the charity £20 or whatever figure comes to mind. Who knows? You may get a healthier chap next time.</p>
<p>As for my presence here, what can one say? I do no exercise at all during the year, then suddenly I'm supposed to climb a flipping mountain for a good cause.</p>
<p>It makes no sense.</p>
<p>Still if I make it to the top and back, it probably means I'm recovering quite well.</p>
<p>And by the way, the doctors and nurses at Edinburgh's Western General were superb. Long live the NHS!!</p>
