Before the end of the 2010, I was starting to think of quitting again. I kept putting it off, until I found out in the same week that two people I know are fighting lung cancer. One of them is a nurse at the hospital I work at, I don't think she was a smoker, but she got it through Melanoma skin cancer when it metastisized. The Dr's removed part of her lung and gave her Chemo, that was last year and recently she found out its back. Now she is down to doing experimental procedures. The other person I know was a subcontractor we used on many of our projects...Great guy, I admire many things about him. except the smoking. He retired last year and within 6 months was diagnosed with lung cancer. I don't know what his prognosis is yet, but I wish them both well.
As summer approaches I'd like to remind everybody of the importance of sunscreen, Peteg just had some skin cancer removed from his back. In the last 3 years I've had two cancers on my face and two on my hand. I have to go in every 6 months and get checked now, matter of fact I have a pretty familiar looking spot on my hand right now that needs to come off.
