I haven't been on here in a while, I've been busy having breast cancer and getting a double mastectomy. Listen up everyone who is tempted...Don't Do It....I had a mastectomy last Thursday on Dec. 2, and they did get it all, and I am still having a couple of cigs a day, (I know, pure stupidity), but tomorrow, Saturday, is my new quit date, and also my sister's, I think this made her see the light.
