Hi Everyone,
 
This site never ceases to amaze me!!!  The support coming at me is almost tangible, and for that I thank all of you.  I realise this is not a cancer support site, but if my situation can help someone else be encouraged to keep going and stay quit, I will be happy.
 
They reckon that 50% of recovery from cancer is down to strong motivation and positive thinking....I'm trying to keep all of that going...it reminds me of starting my quit, when it dawned on me that determination and knowlege was power...I'm doing all the same things now.
 
Update...the surgeon is 'phoning me today to arrange the op. to remove the tumour....it is not in   the lung as such, just alongside, so fingers crossed.  Chemo. will be considered later.  I'll keep you posted.
 
Once again a huge thank you for all the great support and caring thoughts.
 
Love Lolly.

Lolly,
Sending you love and positive energy across the pond.  This is just one more hurdle in your quit smoking journey, and just as you had the strength to quit smoking, so shall you have that same strength to help you through recovering from this.
Thinking of you.
