email from my dad:
Mar. 19th, 2002 03:22 pmAs far as my health, I am not worried. Fiona has a thing about health. I see the doctor about what he found on Thursday evening. He told me there was a chance my elevated PSA was due to cancer, hence the biopsy. If it is, treatment is usually successful, and anyway often this kind of cancer is very slow. If it's not, drugs can reduce the possibility that it might become cancerous. Other than that, problems are more likely to be annoying than life threatening, and the doctor initally thought it was no big deal - all this is more or less precautionary at this time. No sense borrowing trouble, so don't worry about it; when there's something to tell I'll let you know.
