I finally voted in my first poll, finally an easy one, lol.
I was initially surprised to see that the over 65 crowd is only 14% but then I realized the poll really is just a reflection of the age group % of men on healing well. And it makes sense that a larger % of younger men would use the internet for support and information.
But at least it was a fun/easy poll....Jim

Nice to have a PCa venue where I don't feel like the youngest one in the room by a mile.

Unsurprising bias appears on an online poll.
As of today, in our little HW/PC corner of the world, 10.6% of men responding were 44 or younger, but the recent data across the U.S is that only 0.6% are less than age 44. Do you think younger men are more apt to be on social media like HW/PC?
Here at HW/PC, 43% were under age 55. In the real world, 10% are under age 55.

Jack. So? If you're saying that the members here are an unusual self-selected group, then you're right. And that is a problem because?

Yes, my comment was a statement and clarification of the
relevant facts.
90% of men newly diagnosed with PC in the U.S. are age 55 and older.

I have posted before. But I would like for my postings about my husband to be included on the G9 list and the long G9 thread. I don't think we are included and it would help me find the continuing posts related to aggressive prostate cancer.
Also, How do I find the list and G9
Also how do I find my earlier posts? ( I have used the google custom search at upper right corner but doesn't work)
Thanks, Annie
