Well done Robrossk! Wonderful news!

While we have your attention, I'd like to point out some things about lung cancer risk for smokers.


Memorial Sloan Kettering has a lung cancer risk assessment tool here :
Lung Cancer Screening Decision Tool | Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Criteria to use it is as follows:

"We designed this decision tool for people who are current or former smokers. It works only for people like those listed below whose risk is high enough to accurately predict.
Age: 50 to 75 years old
Smoking history: ten to 60 cigarettes (a half pack to three packs) a day for 25 to 55 years
Current smokers or former smokers who quit 20 years ago or less.

Here are my results. I have a .65% risk of dying from lung cancer in the next 6 years.

You were blessed by catching it in time and having a good surgeon and hospital staff and a wife that cares and helps you recover.
I pray that the cancer is gone forever.

If anyone here is still smoking QUIT.

I know it is hard

I know it is possible

Good news congrats.

I gave up cigs at a very early age. All they do is cause bad breath, stink up your house, clothes, and car.

This post caught my attention because my wife works here in the Memphis area (Baptist Hospital) in a lung nodule program. Their sole purpose is to follow up on patients that were found to have lung nodules which were discovered incidentally while undergoing various other procedures. They see the patients and make sure the follow up is mapped out. That way when a nodule is found, the treatment can be so much more effective due to the early detection. The results and prognosis for the patients has been so rewarding. I'm so thankful that Amanda's job makes such a positive path for these patients. And God bless you with continued success.
