Great chocolate-hazelnut spread

Well I made the faux pas of disparaging the N spread elsewhere... Sorry! But if you are looking for an alternative that is not made by a conglomerate, this is truly excellent, from Allo Simonne in Montréal. Not sure if they sell it in stores but I haven't seen it here in Toronto, I order from their website. They have a dozen different spreads as well as chocolate bars, most hazelnut-based, and there is no gluten in their shop according to their FAQ. Not exactly cheap, but addictive.

I wrote here that I had a prostate MRI at Princess Margaret Hospital here in Toronto due to a 9.8 PSA; the results were posted to my electronic record just now. Volume - 52 cc, PSA density - 0.19 ng/ml/cc, PI-RADS 2. Multiple wedge-shaped abnormalities in the peripheral zone bilaterally, especially on the left, with mild diffusion restriction and early enhancement, suspicious for prostatitis. Apparently they compared with another MRI I had in 2018, back when I had one annually to monitor for the possible recurrence of a benign stromal tumour I had removed, and my prostate hasn't really changed since then. So it looks like a chronic condition. I did have bacterial prostatitis in 2003.

I'm relieved, but also eager to talk to the urologist. I suppose I will need regular PSA tests, but that those might be more difficult to interpret now that I have a known condition.

Anyway, since I have an elderly friend with prostate cancer, I will continue to visit so I can help him interpret whatever is happening. I wish you all the best of luck.
