Ya know - After 3+ decades of smoking

[packman]

10. Good for you -

Lost my father - after having one lung removed - and never will forget his final days as the cancer ate his frail body to a skeleton. Then, a brother, a heavy smoker and drinker lost to throat cancer, dying in a hospital room after they removed his tongue, part of his throat and most of his gums.

With that type of memories, I almost lost it when, sitting in a doctor's waiting room for some leg pain nonsense, a guy went off rambling about how doctor's don't know shit about smoking/diseases/cancers. I related my story about holding my father's head up so he could cough and breathe after his surgery. However, I don't think anyone could convince that guy - he was hooked and in deep denial.

Again, kudos to you and all those that support you .
