"Time for a Chest X-Ray"
"Time for a Chest X-Ray"
I'm retired now, but grew up in the age when the only place you didn't smoke was church. I quit 27 yrs ago and yet the effects of all those years of smoking have come home to roost. I have joined the infamous "Cancer Club" and my membership into the club came by a simple chest x-ray after a niggling cough 2 months ago. This was followed by a "CAT Scan, PET Scan and finally a biopsy confirming what I already feared.
Hopefully my fix will be on the 20th when I meet a surgical robot "RATS" who will remove the cancer and give me the chance to meet my maker by a different means.
The bottom line guys is that a simple chest x-ray can give you and your family peace of mind or if a problem exists the chance to fix it.
Thankyou

Similar story to my brother, quit 30 years ago but now has it. He's on a trial drug (the other 7 on the drug have died) but he is plugging along OK.
Remember the words of Yul Brynner:
"Whatever you do, don't smoke."

I started smoking when I was 13, quit after a triple bypass when I was 51, am now 66, diagnosed a year ago with interstitial lung disease and atrial fibrillation. all those years as a young paramedic/firefighter/safety guy have all caught up to me as well. Currently at 60% lung capacity and holding... let's fight the good fight, brothers... i ain't just rolling over..
