A word about statistics

A word about statistics

Had my chest CT scan today. Let's hope for great improvement when I get the results next week. ...
Most of today was spent sleeping. I think I'm trying to catch up from the loss of sleep overnight Monday when I was at the ER. ...
Listening to the coverage of Dana Reeve's death, you'd think I might as well give up. I'm a dead man walking. Only 15 percent of lung cancer victims survive. Those stats may be true (if so, they're true from five years ago because that's how long the studies last) for some lung cancer victims, but not all. There's more than one type of cancer. My doctors have given me a 27 percent to 30 percent chance of survival. Much better odds than you'll see in the media these days. ...
No matter the odds, I can always use your prayers. Thanks.

Comment bill, do not pay any attention to what they say!! as a matter of fact, stop reading articles or watching shows where they talk about survival rates and all that kind of crap! there are ALWAYS exceptions, there are ALWAYS people who beat the odds and don't you forget that. god makes miracles every day and people who are given slim chances to make it, do, and there is no reason in the world it can't be you! we are all praying for you and there is no way all that energy can't be making an impression on the man upstairs. you are going to beat this, bill, and i need you to believe that as much as i do, ok? stay strong, my friend. love, lisa

Comment Years ago, I went to my doctor really upset about whatever was a hot topic and I was very worried. He just said, not to get too worried about whatever you hear in the general media. I hope you will remember that and keep your sprits up.

Comment God still has a purpose for your life, so the numbers do not matter.
