Hello BRC.
This is a club YOU definately do not want to belong to.
I never dipped, but smoked for 32 years.
I have just been told I have tongue cancer.(very advanced)
It is almost Identical to misskate.
I'm 50 tears old, and have a wife of 23 years,
and three beautiful children.
I feel they are going to have to remove my WHOLE tongue also. And beleive it or not, that is the easy part of the treatment.(radiation & chemo are harder and your quality of life WILL change forever) Even if you do do all these treatments, IT CAN COME BACK!!!
I do beleive that I will choose death over these horrifying treatments. That in itself is a horrifying decision, but that's for me and no one else to make.
Keep reading these posts and you will drop to your knees and pray for GOD to help you QUIT, and not let this disease attack you.
Here's the easiest way to quit. Throw out all your chaw, and start reading this forum, and pray that you DO NOT get it, and THANK GOD that you do not have it.
So my freind, its your call. A good life, or a seat on the bench in a Living Hell?
I HOPE I SCARED THE S!@T! OUT OF YOU, BECAUSE IF I DID, I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE.
