Stop Smoking Help

Hello again. I read this in a Christmas letter my sister had and shall share it with you. If anyone needs encouragement to stop smoking, this might help. A 44 -year-old woman named Wyn had a bad cough that prompted her to stop her 30 year smoking habit. Like her Grandpa, she had a hypno-therapist help her quit.
Now it is normal for the lungs to expel muscus when one stops smoking, so her doctor gave her medicine when her cough persisted. 8 months later a scan revealed a 3-inch tumor in her left lung. Another scan revealed no other tumors so her lung was removed. A month later, surgery comenced to discover the tumor grew into a football and 3 ribs were also removed with some of her chest wall. Then the surgeon noticed her lymph nodes under the lungs had cancer. Chemotherapy was recommended.
The pain of the surgery required strong narcotics to help Wyn cope. A month after surgery, a strong pain sent Wyn to the emergency room to find a hole in her colon. 2 days later she had her colon repaired to catch a septic infection and spread like wildfire. Her septic shock caused her kidneys to shut down and she went on a ventilator. The doctor placed her in a drug-induced coma to heal. Her family prayed. The surgeon told Wyn's husband that he left the operating room in tears with little hope she would make it. Another told him he had never seen anyone with so much infection go through surgery and live. Nearly, 3 weeks later her family looked into her blue eyes with joy.
But she does live and is going through chemotherapy. She made home just after Thanksgiving stronger from occupational therapy. If this does not make anyone consider giving up their cancer sticks, then good luck to you, you will need it.
Post later. Bye!
