Thanks for the kind words. It is a labor which I have come to love, and to be honest after a very selfish life; I am quite surprised that it took me so long to realize that everything up to this point was superficial and egocentric.

Now, to something more important... If you are still struggling with tobacco, there are medical prescription grade supplements that can help wean you away from your addiction. If you are unsuccessful with the over the counter gums, patches etc. that is not the end of things. I will not push you here, but now that you have survived your first dance with the devil, I would be happy to point you towards things that you can ask your doctor about to get away from tobacco once and for all. In the long run a person who has an original SCC and continues to use tobacco will eventually reoccur, and that is a difficult task to defeat. While you have gotten this far, if you wish your future to be bright, you will have to remove this poison from your life. That's all the preaching from me; now if you need assistance on what to talk to your doctor about that might help you, please ask.
