PDO (pretty danged old) I am up there in the age range that most NHLers fall in statistically. I am somewhere between 60 and 70. Well o.k., closer to 70.

Joanne was 44 at dx, 56 now.

Worth noting that our group is a skewed cohort (not that there's anything wrong with that : ) , as older people are much less likely to be represented on the Internet. I recall reading the mean age at dx for NHL is about 67.
