I was really depressed yesterday after the breakdown. Just kind of lost it, thinking, man I'm trying to stay alive here and you morons can't keep a machine running. Then I read that with prostrate cancer it can decrease effectiveness. Asked the Doc today and he said not to worry, no decrease in effectiveness. Just wish I could totally trust him. Anyway all of your responses put my mind at ease. Thanks. Machine fixed and I'm back on the road.
