John Nickolls, our only New Zealander to my knowledge, came to our group
after his diagnosis in December 22, 2001.  He had an initial PSA of 704, was
Stage T4, and a Gleason of 7.  His initial bone scan showed cancer "all
over".  He was initially treated with Zolodex and four years later, in
December 2005, he underwent orchiectomy.  He also retired from work.  His
PSA was 1.8 in 2005, but by June 2006 it was back up to 197.1 and there was
little they could do to slow it.

On December 23, 2007, six years and one day after being diagnosed with
metastatic cancer throughout his body, John died with Michelle at his side.
May he rest in peace and the Eternal Light shine upon him.

I should be hung and quartered, but I don't remember.  I want to say
mid-50s.

Gawd, I love the Internet.  I found his obituary in the New Zealand Herald.

Unfortunately, no age.

Well, in Googling John, I found his webpage, and a few pictures if you're
interested.  http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/9515/index.htm

He was born 9/4/1949 making him 52 when diagnosed and 58 at death.
