Not good news :(

[Iggypoppin']

Hi guys. Just thought I'd share this, AFF are great for support so that's why I'm posting. I have had a few problems with breathing and last month I had an appointment with my GP. He got me to do a few tests and I got the results yesterday, I have emphysima in it's early stages. It is an irreversible disease that eats away the lungs. I am a smoker but now plan to quit. This is the worst news I have ever received and I'm pretty cut about it, despite the fact it's my own fault. Anyway I'll leave with saying, I will be ok and I will stop smoking but hopefully I won't have caused too much long term damage.
Naish.
