  4. It says "Ben has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is very small, and they are not going to treat it just yet but wait and see what happens. If anyone is familiar with the term Gleason 6, that is what he has got."

    Good luck Ben, and keep your pecker up.

  5. i've been following your blog for a long time.
    Congratulations on the outcome of the parole hearings! I hope you will continue to blog on the transition to open prison and hopefully, eventually, to a life outside prison.

    And, I hope your health issues will remain stable or improve. It must have been a great shock especially at this point of your life.

  6. I am so happy for you Ben - use the time at an open prison to make the huge re-adjustment that you need.

    Really sorry to hear about the cancer - you have survived worse than that - keep strong.

    Please keep writing your blog too or I will miss you. xx

  8. Glad to hear the good news, your on your way out, let's hope. Sorry to hear about the bad news, sadly you won't get much nutritious food in jail, but Bitter apricot kernals, and the raw food diet will sort cancer out.
