Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I just got a call and the results came back no malignancy/CANCER, at all. It came back as they thought it would bad infection with abscess on the lung. It is going to be a long haul but the meds should clear everything up.

I can't thank all of you enough. When I was worried I was here, lurking trying to find things to kill the time, time that was killing me with such worry. Your stories, things going on in your lives helped me get thru this. Thank you all so much!!!!

I know that this was my wake up call. I lost both my parents when they were very young 54 and 58. Both of them had cancer. My father had lung cancer but lived thru that they removed part of his lung. He later died we believe from Lupus. My mother had Kidney Cancer and died 7 months after my father. I was 25 at the time of their deaths and that was a very difficult thing to go thru. Losing them both so close and young.

I feared for my own children this past few weeks.

I gave up cigarettes on February 2nd and I will not go back to them. I have been pushing my luck way to far. Dr Neal said something to me about accomplishing so much with my weight loss and improving my health. He said you know you really need to let the cigs go now.... The next day I did.

I know being sicked helped me get there but I feel that I am really done with them. I don't want them controling my life anymore.

Thanks again everyone,

you really don't know what you have until it might be taken away.

ONE VERY HAPPY LBT GIRL HERE IN WA!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

What a blessing to know that you are going to be OK in time. I'm so thankful that it wasn't cancer. And if it scared you into letting go of the cigarettes for good, that is a great thing!

This is such great news Kathy. What a blessing! Keep up the good health. :-)

Oh! Thank God!

Kathy, I am so glad you got good news from the doctor. Congrats on quitting smoking...I know it is hard but you will feel so much better, as I am sure you are already feeling better. When my husband quit he could not believe how much better he could smell. He came in from outside one day last summer and said "I smell dirt" I said "what the hell are you talking about" (I thought he meant in the house) LOL He had to explain to me that when he was outside he could actually smell dirt...somehting he said he had not smelled in years...I just had to laugh at that one.
