Nice read, so many people live their lives by what other people do and what everyone else things. I definitely dont think its the way to go and if anything I go against that common trend after been few a few hard times and having time to think about the decisions I made to get there.

Just because the last 100 people suffered because of an illness does not mean a cure will not be found tomorrow and that 100% suffer rate could flip to 100% survival overnight.

In reply to Anne Wayman. Whew is right, Anne. ;-) I've always said with numbers & stats, there are so many ways you can spin them. Thanks for the words & hugs, Anne. :-)

In reply to Lori. Thanks, Lori. Even then, they don't seem to matter in terms of what we feel. I appreciate you dropping by. :-)

Amen for the negative results, Cathy. You’re right — statistics only matter when they’re affecting you directly.
