George Sayell was educated at a Grammar School, and then took a Student Apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering. Most of his career was spent in the automotive industry. He took early retirement aged 61, and seven years later following regular tests was diagnosed with early prostate cancer and treated by Radical Prostatectomy (surgical removal of the gland). Following this treatment the majority of patients make a full recovery within two years. The writer though was less fortunate in suffering from side effects to an extreme degree, the 'worst case scenario', and as a result required further treatment. In his humorous poetic style he gives a brief introduction to urology and his life before cancer followed by an account of his experience of being diagnosed with the cancer, undergoing the treatments, and how he dealt with the ensuing problems. He remains fit and active with varied interests including model engineering, World War One, industrial archaeology, weaving, and gliding. He lives with his wife in the Midlands. They have two daughters, four grandchildren, and one great-grandson. Andy Watt is an illustrator whose work can be seen in the UK and overseas press, in books and in advertising campaigns.
