Good news, bad news

The good news first - it seems, statistically speaking, that PWP are less likely to get cancers. The bad news is that applies to all cancers except one; apparently we are more susceptible to melanoma. That's not good, considering the number of bad sunburns I have had over the years.

An estimated 10,850 people will die of skin cancer this year, 8,110 from melanoma and 2,740 from other skin cancers. And, wouldn't you know it, older caucasian males are more likely to die from some form of skin cancer. That is people of my age and gender.

Good thing I get checked every year since, as Stephen Wright has said, I plan to live forever. So far, so good.
