I have been on this board before about a uterine cancer scare a couple of years ago. I had a full hysterectomy but it turned out to not be cancerous. I know how utterly terrifying it is to be told you have cancer and I never want to go through that again.

On Monday, August 24th, 2009, I quit smoking. Very Happy

I got a prescription for Chantix and it's been unbelievable how well it worked. I had sleeplessness and nausea for a little over a week but that went away. It was almost effortless to quit. By my quit date I was not smoking much but I did have to make the conscious decision to not smoke. It wasn't imperitive. It wasn't an urge I had to fight.

I have been happier and felt better than I have in a long time just in these last 4 days. I can BREATHE DEEP and not cough. I take a walk at work when I have a strong urge and I breathe as deep as I can. It really is wonderful.

Oh... and I just had my yearly mammogram and all is OK.

Congratulations on quitting smoking!

my future mother in law had been smoking for over 35 years. She used Chantix too to quit smoking and now she has been cigarette free for 1 year! She said that the main thing is that you need to be ready to quit. Now, if I can only get my fiance to do the same thing.... Smile

Hi dude,

You have done a great job for your life ,keep it up. I want to tell you one thing if you go in this way taking care of yourself then one day you will totally cure about your diseases and live a happy life. Be a good advisor for others people who take a cancer like diseases as a light joke. Do regular exercise and yoga to increase your immune system level high which produces antibodies to fight foreigners antigens and protect your body. As your immune system increases allergy and cough related problem are gone. Good luck friend.
Thanks
