Reenie, My condolences for your loss. What a devistating event. I have been picturing that ever since I quit. I saw pictures of lungs, and I see a lung gasping for air and cant get any everytime I see someone smoke. It saddens me. Thank you for your post. Hang in there.

Reenie, my heart just breaks for your family. I know what you went through. My husband died of lung cancer March 31, 2005. Your post brought back so many memories. He lived 23 days after he was told of the cancer. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand and comfort you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Reenie: So very very sorry about your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers and so glad you posted. This is a real wake up call to people when you are approached with what "can" happen if you smoke. We all know it is possible but when you read it here it really hits home. Take care.

I just wanted to tell all of you about my brother. He became very ill the beginning of this year. He developed blood clots in his legs and when he kept getting sicker it was determined he had pneumonia. He was supposed to have a chest X-ray done but never did. He was a very heavy smoker, smoking 2-3 packs a day. By Feb. 20 he was extremely ill with a constant cough and vomiting. I forced him to go to the hospital and he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer of the lungs.I brought him home with the help of hospice on March 8 and he passed away on March 13. He was only 53 years old. The entire family is still in shock about this death as it came so fast. Dave was a big, burly healthy man and none of us ever suspected he had cancer. It was a terrible death. He was gasping for each breath. Next time you crave a cigarette, imagine someone lying on their deathbed, gasping for air with none to be had.
