June 24Jun 24 My doctor recently recommended a CT scan of my lungs because of my smoking history (pack and a half a day for 40 years). I got the results today....ALL NORMAL! Hallelujah, and thanks for all the support!!
June 24Jun 24 Congratulations! That is fabulous. Although we have quit and sure there are improvements, we never will be never smokers.
June 24Jun 24 A Woo Hoo from me as well! As I've told many other quitters, the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself if we stop smoking.
June 27Jun 27 So happy for the good news, Nancy!! Hooray!! And thanks for the good reminder for us all… Ask your doctor about getting chest CTs for lung disease screening. For people over 50 with a history of heavy smoking, annual screening scans are free under most insurance plans in the US. Edited June 27Jun 27 by DenaliBlues

The idea being if there is anything worrying, at least you're catching it early. As with all cancers, by the time you start feeling symptoms, it's usually much more advanced meaning more difficut to treat. I had my annual yesterday - results July 6th.
June 29Jun 29 Gday Coundnt say to much before this but got the results from the CT scan yesterday. Clear! And I can truly say I know how Nancy feels. Relief. You have that niggling doubt in your mind till the results come back. They don’t call it a “test” for nothing
