I recently read a 'cancer survival figures' article on BBC News that some might find interesting, as it has the 10-year survival statistics for a range of cancers, (including my own Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, for the morbid).
I try not to get too hung up on statistics, as they are out of date the moment they are published, but it's certainly interesting to find out what cancers you definitely don't want. Pancreatic, for example. *shivers*
And Lung cancer? ... 5.3% survival rate. Smokers reading this should feel a twinge on guilt right now. Yup, that does means you.
Right ho ... here's the link

Survival rates and any specific diagnosis aside -- by the time any man reaches age 35 and is not already investigating his own mortality, he's slow. If he's not doing it by the time he's 40 he's an idiot. We all do it. I'm not saying that you don't have more reason than many to investigate further, I just wanted to you let you know that you are in the good company of any thinking person. You also have something that some thinking people don't -- the ability to express yourself both in prose and music, which is appreciated by all of us. Keep it up.
