Most men who live past 80 have malignancy in their prostate and die with it. It is a very slow-growing cancer, which is why she is recommending watching and waiting. The good thing...

I replaced the heater core recently in my '79 Trans Am. They do reproduce copper/brass units for my car, thankfully, so I splurged and got that off of Ames. They're made by TSM and it fit perfectly....
