Great news! Thanks for keeping us posted. Your experiences rekindle what I went through 27 years ago; the chemo experience is something one never forgets. Very thankful I have been granted this much life after being given a 40% chance of beating it back in 1990. may you have many years ahead being able to enjoy life and enjoying God's great outdoors.

Back in the mid-70's, my mother was in the hospital with cancer. Hard to believe, but is was when you were allowed to smoke in hospitals! My parents always smoked when I was growing up, and then I began to smoke. When I visited my mother this time, I pulled out a cigarette to light up and she looked at me and said "how can you smoke when I am so sick?". She meant it in a way to startle me that one day I could be battling cancer like her so she wanted me to stop smoking. That was the catalyst for me. I put the cigarette out, tossed the pack in the trash and never smoked again. That was 1975, and I have never smoked again since. Bama Pod, I am rooting for you! You are off to a great start!]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2017 16:09:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9232&PID=91006#91006 cancer : When our girls were young, we... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9232&PID=91003#91003 Author: StephenH

When our girls were young, we were visiting my wife's sister and husband. My brother-in-law lit up in front of them. The girls said, "You smoke uncle Tommy? That stinks!"

He put out the cigarette and that was it. Unfortunately, my wife's sister still smokes like a chimney and blames her persistent cough on her "just getting over a cold."

The point is, if the incentive to quit is strong enough, you can succeed. It is worth doing so. My grandparents had COPD and I lost at least one uncle to lung cancer.

So if you are still smoking PLEASE QUIT !!!!!!! yes I know it won't happen to you but it can. looks like we may have caught it in time but won't know until after the treatments both radetion and cemo.

Your story among many others has been inspiration for me to try to quit again.

Started the Chantix program and today it's been 4 weeks since I had a smoke.

Impossible to know if I can continue on this life-path, but so far so good.

Thanks for sharing and hope your recovery continues to go well.

That happened to us twice. Each time it was when we went to Las Vegas. I am sure the place where we rented the car on one trip skimmed the card. That was the only place I used that particular card on that trip. I don't remember the circumstances of the other time. With both, USAA picked up on it. Neither time was at a casino, jut in case anyone was wondering.

Speaking as a cancer survivor, by the grace of God, it is a great thing to get out of the house/hospital even for 1 day when in the midst of chemo treatments, it does your soul and spirit much good. I felt like a prisoner even when I was in the house day after day; very freeing to get outside and smell the air.]]> Fri, 03 Mar 2017 20:02:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9232&PID=88835#88835 cancer : we may just go for a couple of... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9232&PID=88832#88832 Author: osage

I know it can be tough. I also know that going out into public while receiving radiation and chemo is extremely risky since those attack your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to illness. Hang in there and recover your strength. Then go enjoy yourself.
My wife did not need chemo, but went through radiation for breast cancer. That was bad enough. She still does not have the stamina she had before.
