Just over 2 weeks ago, my family started a horror run of luck.
My oldest sister had a bowel problem just over 30 years ago and had a colostomy bag fitted. She recently had to have a minor operation to rectify a problem with it.
My youngest brother went "missing" and we finally found him in remand in a SA jail for trying to burn down his boss's house,
Later the same week, my mother, who is diabetic and has lung cancer, fell over and broke her hip.
A few days later, my youngest sister, who was about 24 weeks pregnant with twins, lost both of them.
I have been a smoker for 45 years and for the last few months, I have had difficulty breathing.
I went to the doctor last Tuesday and he basically gave me 3 possibilities. Fibrosis, Emphysema or Lung Cancer.
I had a CT scan on Friday and find out the results on Tuesday evening.
