It is so hard to live with this but I smoked many years. I've just married the love of my life. I'm now 56, she's 50. Been in love since children. Now was stage 4 by the time I found out what it was. It is so unfair to her, she can't work, has to watch me full time. Medicaid don't cover near enough. I've worked hard all my life. Just not fair. Here's to all of you with this disease - love you all and will be praying for you and family. - Buff
