Johns story

I have smoked for 47 years did not drink but enjoyed my cigs I had the usual smokers cough .

Until I coughed up blood guess what

Yes you are correct went to the hospital and had a X-ray nothing showed up then I had a ct scan which every smoker should have at least once a year

The ct scan showed up a cancer I then had to have a biopsy to confirm it which it did I have not smoked for over a month now a little late but I will be starting radiation and chemo in two weeks prognosis not sure but I will be fighting.

Maybe my story will help others actually stop this insidious habit.

Thank you John for sharing your story. This morning I just want to smoke....and was very close to taking it up again after 19 days free. It is evil and ridiculously addictive and always a huge crutch for me. Your story made me think again , there are consequences with our actions .

My prayers and thoughts are with you and hope for a wonderful outcome for you xx

Hi John, Thankyou for taking the time to post. I have to admit your post flawed me. As I looked away from the ipad I looked over at my two daughters and I cried. As you say it is such an insidious habit and we just keep doing it with no thought as to the consequences for ourselves or those that we love. I pray and hope that you gather every ounce of strength and fight to beat it. I also pray that you are supported and loved as you take this journey. Thank you for your brave post Im sure you will have strengthened everyone's resolve to quit for the last time, your psot has had a profound effect on me. I wish you all the very best , my prayers and thoughts are with you. With much love and light. x
