Reply #232: Well I had a hell of a scare recently

[Carni]

I found out I had a large tumor and had the pleasure of sitting around for 5 weeks waiting for surgery to get the thing removed -- until it was out, there was no way of knowing if it was malignant or not.

Anyway it was benign, but I had the pleasure of going to a cancer center prior to my surgery to see my Dr and it scared the shit out of me seeing all the people there in various states of misery.

Thanks for the kind words and I hope I can continue to not smoke although I am not all that hopeful (to be completely honest)

I wouldn't be as concerned about quitting, but I have a family history of cancer so between that and the smoking I think I was playing with fire.
