Oh Boy, I know I am going to get slammed! I have read every post and want you all to know I am STILL a smoker and not a slight one at that. My Father died at 46 yrs old from a heart attack and my Brother at 46 from LC. When he was dx his DR out and out told him that the time to quit smoking was not now. Perhaps because he had given up a life time love with drinking and had been sober for the 1st time in all his adult years for a little over a year when he was dx. Maybe his DR thought it would push him back to drinking and he had over 30 spots on his liver. He was about to try to quit smoking when he was dx. and his DR told him now was not the time. I am no dummie but I am still a smoker. My husband is also a smoker. I will say this if I could get him to quit , I would quit also. I have quit one time since marrying him for 4 months and for some reason when I went back I felt like if I didnt have a cigarette I would jump off a bridge somewhere. His smoking has made me believe I could never do it and live in the same house as him and I love him to peices. This is not an excuse. I will also say knowing the warnings I continued to smoke all my life since I was about 16 and I am 51 now. I love all you people and I am on this board enough to know that smoking is looked at in a very negative way. Do any of you think that I think I will end up with LC?? The answer to the question is Yes I do feel I will as I feel my husband will too. How sad I know but how true. Another thing that has been planted firmly in my head is knowing from you're bio's that most of you smoked decades ago and still have LC. It has made me think....... Why should I quit something I througherly enjoy when these people quit for their health and ended up with LC just the same. But to end this all I will say I DO know how bad smoking is for the heart and for cancer and many other dx's, I want to quit but dont know if or when I ever will. I hope I am not judged too harshly for fessing up that I am STILL a smoker yet care and want to help in any way I can all of you as I wanted to help my Brother. Smoking is not a wise choice but it does not make me any less a caring loving person. God Bles You All, Jane

I have 3 cats and I think I would choose a cat. They live a life of leisure, coming and going as they like, napping when they like, jumping up into a nice warm lap or sitting in the sun on a window sill. I guess one of the best things about being a cat is ... They have 9 lives! God Bless, Jane

Dear Pat, My heart just breaks to read you're post. Like the others I have no answers to you're questions but I do have lots of prayers I am sending you're way. I am sure you are feeling so helpless,but just the oppisite is true. Brian has you, you're help, support and most of all you're love. You are helping him in every way you know how. I know you want answers but I believe God is the only one with these answers and he has a plan for Brian and for you. Trust in him. He will see you both through whatever the answers are. I will keep you both and you're family in my prayers. Love to you all. God Bless, Jane

Dani, I am praying for you and KNOW what you are going through. You are coming to the right place for support and you just vent away as that is why we are all here, to help one another. My prayers are with you Sweety. God Bless You, Jane

Dear Nancy, If we ever knew the answers you're husband and our brothers know now we wouldnt have any questions. I have always said when someone passes that now they know all the answers we all wonder about. I have faith that God has an ultimate plan and I just have to trust him. I know when I was 28 and became a widow with 2 young sons it was the first time I questioned God. I just could not understand why God would take a man of 29 and the father of 2 young sons away. Our answers are in Heaven Nancy. When we get there and meet our loved ones and sit at the side of God we will have all our questions answered, until then we just need Faith. God Bless you Sweetie, Jane

Dear Beth, It must be so very hard to know he has decided against any more treatment. I do understand his decision though as I feel treatment quicken my Brother's death. He was always very thin and the chemo just took everything he had and left him with nothing to fight with. I feel if he had just had the radiation and forgone the chemo he may have lived longer. The question then is what quality of life would he have had and nobody knows. We must opt for the quality vs. the quanity and I know that is so hard. You're love for each other shines brightly through you're post and I empathise with you. Hold each other close, make whatever memories you can and know that we are all praying for you both. God Bless, Jane

Dear Kathi, You Dear! You have been through so much. You were a wonderful Daughter and Daughter in law. I am sure you're husband is so proud of you the way you took care of everyone. A tall order for sure. I am so glad you're husband got to spend some time with his Dad. I am just so sorry for both of you're losses. God Bless you all and hold you in his loving arms, Jane

Dear Dani, That hurts just to read. I felt you're pain. I dont know what to say except that time heals all wounds. I know as I lost my Brother and thought things could/ would never be the same. They never will but I can bear that now, when before I couldnt. I believe my Brother is happy, healthy and at peace with God in Heaven. I hope you believe the same about you're dear Sister. I want to help you but I dont know how. My family all wanted desperatly to help me but couldnt. I had to help myself and that took time. You are in my prayers and you're Sister is you're Angel now. God bless you, Jane
