By the Numbers

Since my brain didn't want to go to sleep last night, I ended up having a Sheldon Cooper moment and decided, I did indeed want to do the math (because you take the girl out of engineering, but you can't take the engineer out of the girl).

How much of my body (volume wise, density would involve way too many assumptions) is cancer?
0.012%  {estimating the volume of my body as a rectangle}
(see Mom, just a touch of cancer).

What was the probability of me developing breast cancer?
0.43% or 1 in 232
(I didn't do this math, the American Cancer Society did and you can find the source here)

Did you know for lifetime for women it is 1 in 8?  Well, I got most of you covered.

Friday's appointment with surgeon can't come soon enough (and by then maybe I won't take out the measuring tape and measure my depth and width).
