New page

I've been through this, even though it was a little over a year ago, this strip brings me back to how I tried to rationalise the probabilities to deal with the news, and the only thing I could think of was "I want a better number, god, noodle-monster, anybody, please, give me a better number".

 Can anyone please provide an update to this page on Randall's fiance's health? Apologies if this is common knowledge.
-I agree with John's reaction.  I wanted a better number for my wife back in the spring of 2008, and got it.  She survived 3 years instead of the (then) predicted average of six months for inflammatory breast cancer.  We could have been just an outlier on the low probability end of the curve, but I like to think the medical community is continually improving their curves, and I am very grateful for the extra time.

She passed away four days after this strip was posted - which explains why I haven't seen this strip until now.
