I smoked for 40 years, developed lung cancer in 1998, had surgery, was cancer-free until Oct. 2005, now have lung cancer again. My lung function is so bad I can't have surgery or radiation. I have emphysema, and regardless of the outcome of the cancer diagnosis, will probably die of the COPD. Not a pleasant thought. And I'm convinced that if I hadn't smoked all those years, I wouldn't have these problems now.

Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of your condition. I went thought the same things with all my family that was part of the WW2 generation (father mother aunts uncles and in laws). I see the smokers on this thread are ignoring you as they usually do when someone says something they don't want to hear.God Bless you.

Carolyn,
Wish you the best. I know way too many people who have gone through exactly what you're going through. It's no fun. Be strong.
Best,
Alter
