Yes. There we go. Thank you. It's interesting to know how people remember you from previous talks that you've given. I've been here now three or four years in a row, twice over this week. And people come up to me and said, I remember you. You the guy that told the Irish joke, not what I told them about prostate cancer, but the Irish joke. Anyway, I said, if I get time at the end, maybe I'll repeat the joke. But the only joke about. Now, I can put across today's if you put four doctors at a table and have them talk about cancer, you get 50 opinions. And that's the issue, particularly with prostate cancer, is so few doctors that treat it. No. About what we know. And I was also told to tell you, this is my 13th year since I was diagnosed in 2004. I was 61 then. I'll be 75 in November. And that's. And there's a lot of reasons for that, and it's not all been easy, and because when you get counter information or counter indications of information, you've got the responsibility to make that choice yourself because they don't all work. In fact, very few really work on the decision to make that is yours. You need to take charge of that. The thing that's come out of this conference that I've been listening to and all the people here is that I don't believe is necessary a cure for cancer. I believe it's a life management decision. And I've certainly proven that with that, with prostate cancer. Because if you change your life and the cancer goes away, which we hope it all does through natural means, if you stop that new lifestyle, the cancer will come back. You have to make that choice to change your life. And that's it. Continue that way, because if you go back to your old life, you're only going back to that part of your life that created the cancer in the first place. And that was a lesson I learned about five years into my research of what I was gonna do with my life. And it's were stuck with me ever since. And out of listening to a lot of the doctors here today and a lot of the practitioners, that's still relevant as far as I'm concerned, certainly in my life and I think in other people I've spoken to, I've got some technical things to talk about today. And so I'm putting on my glasses. I'm going to read a lot because some of these things, being a layman, I need to read because I want to make sure
