To cheer everyone up:
Never give up!
That is far from cheerful.
My Nan had a very sad life. She was constantly Ill, and was in Hospital for most of her life due to Leukemia.
In the end, she died of a Brain Tumour, and I believe another Cancer (Possibly of the Lung, she was a smoker
No L4D jokes please.She was told that she wouldn't make it past the Christmas of 97. But she didn't want to go before Christmas, as she wanted to spend her last one with us. So, she pulled on, and made it past the Christmas, and even to the new year. She eventually died a couple of weeks after the New Year. I was only a couple of years old at the time, and I sadly can't remember her much anymore, other than through Photo's and Videos.
My Grandad (Married to the Nan mentioned above) also died in 2006 Due to Lung Cancer.
He too was a heavy Smoker through all of his life. :(
I lived with both of the Grandparents above, as well as my Mum and Dad. They too also smoked. My Dad has quit now, but my mum is still a heavy smoker. So, there's a possibility of myself getting Lung Cancer from passive smoke.
