Cancer.
It's everywhere I look right now.

You've all read of the fight my July '13 brother Trauma is going through right now. Man, that one hits close to home for me because of our shared quit... He's just 1 day ahead of me and only a few years older. Continued props and prayers to/for him...

Today... I learned of another case close to home. It's a guy in my dept.
6 weeks ago he noticed a coldsore on his lip and started treating it as such. A week goes by and there is no change. In fact, it might be a li'l worse. So, he goes to the doc. Doc says, "no sweat" and prescribes him an antibiotic. Another week goes by and it's not better. In fact, it's spread and he has a little lump on his throat under his jawline. Doc says, "hmm, weird. Let's get that checked". Week 3 they do a biopsy and, yup, he's got cancer. In fact, they need to take a portion of his lip off and rebuild it with tissue from his neck... They schedule surgery for the following week. Come pre-op time and the little lump has swollen his jaw and entire neck. Doc says, "hmm, weird". They do another biopsy... An entire scan. The cancer has spread. They need to do part of his jaw now. Surgery is modified and they reschedule it in another 3 days. They give him another year of life with this diagnosis.

2nd surgery date arrives and his entire neck is swollen and he can't even swallow water. They scan him one more time... The cancer is everywhere. It's literally chewing through his body like an alien invader. It's in his lungs, his lymphatic system, it's wrapped around his spinal cord, and his system is shutting down. They decide... Surgery is futile.

A year of life left becomes one month.
Maybe.
Coldsore to hospice in 6 weeks.

He's 56 and has smoked for 40 years.
He's still smoking.

Fuck.

If you haven't... Quit now.
If you have... Stay that way.

I posted this a month ago and today it demands an update...

This poor guy passed away last night.
Diagnosis to death in 2.5 months.
Smoked right up to the end.

I don't even have words to describe how sad and undignified that is.

AJ... 750 ~ thankful beyond measure to be free.

Damn bud. Sorry for your loss. I hate to see loss for anyone but at least with you we can back on another win form you tomorrow as you post yet another day quit.

Cancer is scary shit and it sucks. Even Superman had a weakness but at least together all of us are strong united and ready to fight as a brotherhood.

Wow, I just can't imagine that. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME QUIT, AJ. Thank you so much..

Congrats on two years of awesome quit work and mentoring. Thanks for sharing the update on your coworker as well. Not a coincidence. It gives you, and by extension the rest of us, something to focus on for your two year anniversary.

AppleJack... Day 1


2 years ago today, that's what I typed on my first roll call. That mighta been the hardest thing I've ever done. I was so damn foggy and scared... hence my site name. I still don't know what the hell I was thinking! But... I'll wear AJ with pride cuz it reminds me, every time I see it, of who I don't want to be, and what I don't want to do, ever again.

Rock on, all you badass quitters!!
