  1. It’s a horrid disease. It’s those closest to you that take it worse.

    I’ve had two types, and thankfully surgery did its job (so far).

    if you ever need to talk @Birdie you know where I am :)

  2. It's all been a bit of a mess these last few weeks, I started going down hill rapidly, went into hospital and they found I had a chest infection and a blood clot on my lung, was put on 14 tablets a day, my third course of chemo was delayed by a week, I had the third course last Wednesday and although I have absolutely no energy I do feel a bit better in myself.
    Thanks Steve.

  3. Thank you for the update Steve. I never owned a "baby" Elan so i really envy you, as it looks like you knew them well. I went to look at a couple but settled on a cheap TR5 instead in around 1975.

  5. Lotus Elan.jpg Lotus.jpg

    It had a few modifications Chris, the arches were widened and it had a half race balanced engine and this one was fitted with twin 40 Webbers not the SU carb's fitted to later models, It had a habit of getting through wheel bearings also. Reg number was LOT 17F

  6. PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels creeping up, I was told today. So may be a metastasis from my prostate cancer of years ago. Offered a PET scan at Barts Hospital, to check. So it goes.
     
  7. Good luck Pete, fingers crossed for you.

  9. everything crossed for you Pete
     
  10. Let’s hope it isn’t any metastasis.
    My best wishes, Pete.

  15. Unfortunately “cheap” and “TR5” are no longer used in the same sentence.

  16. Latest update, my prostate blood levels are back to normal so the consultant says I don't need any more treatment other than six monthly blood checks, as far as the mesothelioma I had a scan two weeks ago and it showed that the chemo had shrunk the tumour, bearing in mind that it's a 50/50 chance of it working is good news, the scan also showed that the blood clot on my lung had completely gone, I should have been having my sixth and last session of chemo today but because of low platelets in my blood it has been pushed back a week.
