Lord have mercy on me

This may be too much information but it scares the crap out of me and I feel that it’s my punishment from smoking for so long and ignoring all the warnings of how bad it is for you.
I went to the doctor yesterday for a lump I found in my breast. She wants me to do a mammogram and I also have been having some blood in my stool so she wants a colonoscopy too. High cholesterol and high blood pressure also putting me at higher risk for heart problems. I am only 38 and have never had either of these procedures. The mammogram is on Feb 17th and I haven’t scheduled the other test yet. It does make my resolve to quit smoking stronger and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had health problems prompt their quit. I’d love to hear some positive stories about how it all worked out. Testify!!

*My quit date is 2/1/21 and I am going to use Wellbutrin and patches.
