Brother Scott: No Cancer

I don't know what further testing the oncologist said but he told my brother
he does not have lung cancer. Of course he fussed at him for being a smoker
and Scott is going to try to quit. Meanwhile, he'll go back in 6 months for
another check just to make sure. Thank you all for the purrs!

My brother was a chain smoker for years. He tried several methods to stop
smoking, but none worked -- and he once said that he knew it was
"impossible" for him to stop. Well, he did stop! He used a prescription
medication called Zyban, and that enabled him to turn the corner (but he
still had to work at it). It is an antidepressant that is marketed along
with another medication. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the second
prescription (starts with a "P," I think). It has now been nearly 10 years
since he took his last cigarette. When he stopped smoking, he started a
bank account and put all the money into that account that he *used* to put
in cigarettes. It grew and grew, and then he bought a *new car* with that
fund! I wonder if that could serve as motivation for your brother?
Whatever it is, the smoker (just like the dieter) needs to find some
internal motivation. I do not believe it works at all for someone to
"pressure" them to quit. (And I do realize that you did not say anything
like that -- I just added it as a bit of commentary.)

That's great news. You must be so relieved.

Hope the doc succeeded in scared him enough. If my brother had quit
smoking, he might still be alive. There are so many of us that really miss
him.

That's such great news, I'm so happy for you and your family.
