Hi there everyone, I've been a bit absent for a while, just getting on with this wonderful thing called LIFE.

I have tallied up all the response to "What do we have in common" remember the questions a lot of you answered, well 58 of you did and here is the percentages from the questions

Responses were from 22 Females, and 36 Males, I haven't split the sexes up, I've just done percentages on an overall total. I hope you enjoy.

Average age at diagnosis - 49 years
Smokers - 31%
Exsmokers - 25%
Pot Smokers - 62% (must have been the era for it)
Drinkers - 82% I found this interesting
Severely Sunburt - 56%
Had Skin Cancer - 17%
Been Stressed - 65% (interesting also)
Tired prior to diagnosis - 41%
Chronic Fatigue - 10%
Worried about cancer - 51%
Obese at some stage in life - 20%
Nail Biters - 29%
General good health - 87%
Suffer from Reflux - 37%
Diet - Carnivores, Omnivores - 93%
Blue, Green, Hazel Eyes - 58%
Brown Eyes - 42%
HPV - this was too hard as there were not enough responses.

Thank you to all who participated, it may not show a conclusive result by nonetheless it was interesting.

Love and prayers to all Jen xxxxx I have put on 14 kilos of the 25 I lost and I feel great.

    The age number is eerie
    because it was exact for me. Interesting and informative survey. Personally I thought obesity would have been more significant. The smoked pot finding is also very interesting as to whether it was causitive or coincidence because of the age correlation?

    Nice work, Jen.
    I keep forgetting to ask, what is the nail biting relevance?

    Diggers....
    They live in the structure...rocks, metal beams, cables, debris (old bridge material) and holes. When you first catch one, they hit like a ton of bricks. If you don't get them turned around within the first few feet, they head for all of that debris and those holes and flare their gills out....makes it so you can't pull them back out.

    These two are pushing 24", they have to be at least 22".

    Here's an idea how tough these Skyway Grouper are....

    We are fishing in 25' of water, using Penn 113 4/0 reels, 100# line and 150# leader, 8oz of lead weight and an 8/0 circle hook... They still manage to break us off.

    Best,
    John

    Have no idea
    I was asked to add the nail biting one, I have no idea, just assume it was to do with biting nails and harbouring germs. But not really sure. cheers Jen xxx

    SAMOA's
    Partial to my samoa's myself...thin mints in the freezer are good.

    Hang in there, it should get better.

    Can't guarantee the sweet will be back 100% mine never has, but a good portion has. Mine is mainly Ice Cream and 100% Fruit Juices for some reason, neither has returned very well, two years out.

    about this whole thing
    dont forget the age is getting more and more younger with H&N cancers/skin cancers. I was 24 when I found out I had NPC cancer and I used be a heavy drinker (course its more common been 16-28) and same go as smokers.
