I want to assign the value of rmean from a survfit object to a variable so that it can be used in subsequent calculations, which is also what I interpreted the original poster to want. I did not understand Dr. Therneau's answer to the original poster, so I figured I would provide a simple example and see if someone could spoon feed me on how to do this. Dr. Winsemius seemed to have gotten an answer, but I have not been able to reproduce it.
It appears to me that summary(fit) and summary.survfit(fit), where fit is an object created by survfit, are the same thing (the example on the summary.survfit help page reinforces this idea). I have played with the rmean=getOption('survfit.rmean') option in summary but I can't seem to get anywhere.
