Turning into a statistic

Becoming a statistic has never been easier. When they found the 'growths' on my thyroid, I was told that barely 3-5% of them are ever cancerous. Of course, you hope you're part of that lumpy 95-97% and go home and sleep well. Lo and behold, when my biopsy results came back, I was part of that 3-5%. Now they tell me that 95% of those who test positive will be fully cured and live their normal life spans. I have my fingers crossed that I will not be that poor f***er who was the 3% of the 3% of the 3% who had to die that year to make the numbers work! I've never felt more important...
