    No. Because I failed at that. I think after the first visit when he discovered it, he gave me the antifungal and steroid, which reduced the mass to 1/4 the size.......it was still doing its job and killed the rest of it.

    And for the record.....I’m still quitting. I’ve been given a second chance. I’m not wasting it. It might be slow but gimme 6 months. I’ll be smoke free. <3

    Glad to see you're still going to quit smoking too. That way you hopefully won't have to worry about a recurrence either.

    You probably need to take a day off work and just relax and feel good, it must have been a ton of stress going through that.

    Yay @PepperAnn !

    I'm telling you, he had to mop me up off the floor. I didn't even know that was a possibility (it disappearing on its own). I had a GREAT weekend.

    You know, people here are still waiting for you to post that you haven't smoked for a whole day. Not to sound mean, but good luck doesn't get you off the hook for future problems. The time to stop is *today*!:mad::):):)

    How is it going?

    I was reading up on Mittens coloration. She is a tortiseshell on top and a calico on the bottom, a tortico. Black nose leather, pink paw pads.

    I randomly ran across this, which is about silver-furred cats (I've never had one) and skin cancer in human red heads, but maybe this redhead DNA thing contributed to the scare you had, too.

    Recent studies seem to suggest that simply being a redhead increases your chances of getting skin cancer, even if you avoid the sun. And this risk comes from the very pigment that causes your hair to be red (pheomelanin). Researchers recently discovered that when your body produces this pigment, something about the process actually damages your DNA.

    Maybe redheads extra specially need to not smoke. <3

    Yeah I have heard that. And still smoking as much as ever. However my living situation is fixing to take a drastic turn for the more expensive so now it's just a matter of not being able to afford it anymore. Meh, whatever the reason right?

    I saw this on ebay, a 1970's "calculighter", I assume for when you want to smoke and do math at the same time.

    Hey @PepperAnn.... @Lindigo basically called you out for being a cancerous ginger!

    Not her words per se, but that's basically how I read her post. ;-)

    Are you gonna take that? I wouldn't. Them's fightin words. If I were you, I'd be fixin to roll up them-there sleeves and then I'd hop in my truck and drive straight to California.... no bathroom breaks!

    You should take this serious-like.
