No Lung Cancer

I called the oncologist and the secretary said that I had an "unremarkable chest". She said that my lungs and heart were normal. So I guess I don't have lung cancer. I learned today that if I get lung cancer, Stage IA or IB with no lymph node involvement, when treated with surgery, has a 5-year survival rate of 43% to 64%. So that means, if it does spread to my lungs or elsewhere there is only about a 50% survival rate. Those are not great odds, it seems to me.

I went for a walk around UT last night. I just had to get out of here and do some thinking. I feel very scatterbrained right now. I have all this thoughts inside my head, and I don't know how to sort them all out.

Last night I went to Steve's where we drank wine and watched random TV shows. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Today, Beth, Steve and I went out to dinner. It was very fun. Then I went to Borders for a while and read a book on European history. Well, not the whole book, but I flipped though it to the good parts. I also looked at the book "Freakanomics" which seems very interesting but I don't want to buy.

I was thinking today that I want to hold auditions. I don't know what to hold auditions for. I think that Jenn and I should hold auditions for something, along with an older british man. Maybe we could hold auditions for people to be our friends. That would be awesome! I think I'll have to suggest this to Jenn.

I'm very sad that Jason and Jeff's moving out party is the same day as Julie's birthday party. I'm going to go to Julie's though, since I said I would go to that first. The sad part is that there won't be the scandal like at Jason and Jeff's. I really should write the ministry for a time turner. Unless they don't have any new ones after having been destroyed after the "incident" at the ministry. Sigh.

Happy to hear it's negative, or whatever is the good one.
