..............Marcella has been diagnosed with stage 4 recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

and they still have to deal with the remaining nodules on her brain

she was a smoker and if any of you smoke here is another good reason to stop TODAY

I am so sorry about Jan's niece-in-law. Sad, so very sad. She and her family will be in my prayers.

I will keep Marcella in my prayers. Yup I'm a smoker and I better get my act together to give it up. Not a very easy addiction.

Phyllis is Tony smoking too? I remember the days after I gave them,,,not pretty but I thank the Lord for given me the strength to do it.. My prayers are for Marcella.

No Tony gave it up almost 3 years ago. I do not smoke in the house only outside or the garage.

Phyllis, it is extremely difficult to quit. I gave up a 2 pack a day habit 12 years ago, Thank God!

I'm a smoker too, and I have COPD. It's very difficult to stop. I have tried often. These past weeks, being home, I'm smoking more. As soon as I get a job, it will be easier. It's also hard because I live alone, and there is noone to be a non enabler (is that a word?)

I will pray for Marcella.

thank you all for your continued prayers and kind words

i too was a smoker and i gave it up after the first surgeon generals report that there may be a link between smoking and lung cancer--- one of the toughest things that i have ever done

So sorry to hear about Marcella.. It's been many years since John gave cigs up, and I am so thankful that he did. The day the doctor told him he has to give it up for many health reasons, that was the day he stops. Not an easy thing to do, but for all of you that do, for health reasons would be the thing to do. Now if I could only get my sons to give it up..

So sorry to hear about Marcella
Although smoking can be pleasurable it brings heart aches. Haven't had a smoke in almost 5 years.
