Folks, my husband smoked for 30+ years. He has quit now, but barely over a year after he quit, it was discovered he had kidney cancer. The tumor weighed ten pounds and to remove it the surgeon had to also remove his kidney. Thankfully, it appears it has not metastacized.....we'll know more in April. PLEASE quit smoking. His surgeon said it was a direct result of smoking. We are lucky to live near MD Anderson Cancer Hospital. Funny, he's not wanted a cigarette since.....
