No, I have brown eyes, brown hair, and olive skin. I don't fit the profile at all, lol.
I quit smoking approximately eight years ago and 15 years before I cut back drastically. My husband is not a smoker and I respected that by not smoking in the house, or car but I also didn't smoke at work.
There are eight of us but four have passed away so I will never know if any of them had or would have had it in life. I have informed the ones who are still here as well as my own children so they can start having conversations with their eye doctors.
I hope because mine caught early and it's dry in both eyes along with biannual check ups with the retina specialist at The Wilmer Eye Institute Johns hopkins medicine we will catch it right away if it changes and requires injections. I hope I am blessed to keep my normal vision for the rest of my life. I pray everyday to St Lucy the Patron saint of eye disorders.
I'm surprised your dad didn't quit smoking right away. I guess it isn't affecting him since the injections are still working.
I am very sorry to hear you have or had bladder cancer. Cancer is just as scary of a diagnosis as this. I will keep you in my prayers.

Thank you so much. I will pray for you as well. I pray to St. Peregrine, the cancer saint 🙏❤️‍🩹🤗
