Here's my opinion.
I am so glad that this is fianlly happening. If you're smoking when you're alone, I really don't care, If you smoke in a public place, you're kinda sad.
Say you have a cancer stick in a public toilet - everyone who then goes in that public toilet, breaths in all the cancer smoke that's been wafting around in your mouth and lungs.
It's pretty damn selfish to smoke where others are - especially if the others around you are children.
Smokers affect other peoples health like that just so you can drug have a ciggy.
That is, however, just my opinion. What do you think of the smoking ban?

I have breast cancer. If it is not in the lymph nodes and the breast has been removed, how will we ever know if it becomes metastized? Will it show up in the blood?

or other issues? My mother in law has smoked since she was 16 and she is 74 and smokes almost 2 packs a day. I know cause we buy them for her daily. (not with our money, she too feable to go in the store).

She takes all kinds of heart pills, vitamin e, is on oxygen at night and during the day sometimes. I do not get how someone that has smoked that long and smokes 2 packs a day does not have cancer. She does have a collapsed left lung and copd and emphezyma, but that is it and still smokes. Goes to the emergency room once a month for "breathing problems".

My uncle has smoked since he was 15 and has had 1 triple bypass, has large cell lung cancer, his right lung has collapsed already, is only 46, and is in the hospital now to get cured of pneumonia that he has had for 2 months. I dont get it. People who get cancer must have to have the gene, what do you think?

My sister is 62 yrs. old , she has Diabetis, High Blood Pressure, Parkinsons, obesity and 2 mos. ago she suffered a Hairline Fracture to her left knee. Prior to this she had a Masectomy in 97. She has been in remission since then but has had chemo/radiation and is down to chemo once per month. It turns out she has Sleep Apnea and is given breathing treatments. Her lungs are small, stiff and scared. Xrays were taken one week ago only to find fluid in her lungs. It is blood/clots. A tubing the size of a cathether was inserted into her left lung and has been draining blood over 400 cc per day. She's down to 300cc per day. An Antibiotic was injected 2 times into the tubing to go into the lung which was very painful. It's to heal the lung and hopefully stop the bleeding. A white fluid was coming out when they took off the clamp but the bleeding/clots returned. The Dr. wants to give her a 3rd treatment. She has Stage 4 cancer. How bad is this? What are her chances of survival?

My brother lives in France and has prostate cancer, he has had it out, but the PSA just keeps rising not much but going up, it is now 3.6. he has been told he will have chemo and the scans are in preparartion for that. How can the PSA levels go up when there is no prostate? Now today they have found it has gone to the liver, the bones are still OK.

I am very worried, Daaddy died of leukaemia just three months after we married in 1967, My mother died of pancreatic cancer in Octoebr 2005 and now Chris. he is 63.

I do have faith, but very scared....

Any compassionate words that would help welcome and prayers.

Thank you G
