I am 5 Years Old Today!

Some of you may say that I act that way everyday! But today it is true! My doctor in Mt Pleasant, SC said so! Five years ago today they sliced me like a side of beef, and removed my left kidney! Renal cell carcinoma! Kidney cancer! I was the luckiest man to ever have cancer! They took the kidney and the cancer out! 10 days later they took the staples out! I ask the doctor when I needed to come back, and he said "You don't"! Just that simple! No radiation! No chemo! Doctor Thomas said "You get a second life. A new birthday." The whole thing scared me bad enough that I quit smoking for 6 days! Then I started back! It took me 3 years and 25 day after that surgery, and one heart attack, to get it! But I finally quit! Forever! How did I do it? Cold Turkey? Not exactally! I took large doses of  support from this site every single day! Thank you my Friends!

I almost waited too long! Learn from my mistake! Do not wait! The time to quit is now! Quit and stay quit! You can do it! We will help!                  Tommy
