Some bad news

[nsd_user663_3810]

I have had an awful day today

One of my very good friends rang me and asked me to come round asap,

he has had back ache for awhile and undergone some tests ect. He was told today he has lung cancer in both lungs due to smoking and has 2-3months left to live as it has gone past the point of any medical intervention. He was married only 6 months ago, and the whole family is devastated.

He is 35 years old, frightened ,confused and angry....This really does bring it home how dangerous fags are-how can they be BLOODY LEAGAL!!! :mad:its not fair, just makes me more determined than ever to remain a non smoker

Shabba,

That is horrendous news. The adults of the future will not thank us for failing to act today to ban this evil drug. When I take my kids to school and see the children playing I know that many will start smoking and a proportion will die because of it. That should not be allowed, IMHO.

There is nothing that one can say to ease the pain or shock, my thoughts go out to you, him and his family.

Thoughts are with you Shabba, this is devastating news for all his family and friends. Nothing else I can say really. So sorry

We tend to think of lung cancer striking at around 60/70 years of age...Good God 35 is no age to die. (Unfortunately in my line of work I have seen it more than I would care to admit)

Terrible news Shabba-especially for a 35 year old-sincere condolences to you.

I share your anger that tobacco is still legal when it can kill so many.

Just wish we could get a Government brave enough to tackle the issue head on, once and for all-they'd certainly get my vote-every time.

[nsd_user663_3911]

I'd just like to echo peoples sentiments.

Absolutely shocking, my thoughts go out to him and his family.

[nsd_user663_3810]

Hi everyone

thanks again for all your thoughts...my sister who is very close to him and his wife has told me that they are preparing him for chemo-although terminal it will extend his life alttle longer,

It just brings it home doesnt it? that we are all fighting for freedom from this killer weed, i have said in previous posts CRAVES DON'T KILL, smoking does.

It has affected my sister deeply and she has thrown her fags over the balcony when she heard yesterday-she is going to join the forum-so you will have to put up with two of us now LOL!!!

Anyway peeps keep fighting those blooming nico-demons

and have a great weekend xxxxxx

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Shabba

So glad they are going to try and do something for him you have been in my thoughts along with your freinds ever since i heard about it

Am pleased your sister has seen the light even though it took this terrible thing to kick start it please tell her she will be very welcome

Will keep fighting those little horrors

Lots of love

Bad news

So sorry to hear that ..... i lost my friend last year too at the tender age of 46. She had lung cancer which had spread to the brain !!!

I had a bad day today too..... but when i put my day into perspective, then maybe it wasnt too bad !

Am determined to stop this horrible life threatening habit.

God bless your mate xx
