When I saw the picture for the clip, I automatically thought it was about the husband and his battle with lung cancer. I didn't even think of it being about the wife because I always think lung cancer is a mans disease. Thank you for the wake up call and God bless this family. If this video stops one person from smoking, it was worth the time it took to honor her and her beautiful family...
Captures, in a very emotional way, the helplessness of a family facing the cancer of a very loved one. Been there.... brought back many memories of my own painful experience with my father. I quit 2 years ago. I smoked two packs a day. Please quit before it's too late. Those left behind suffer so very much. There's you, and that's bad... There's them, and that's even worse.
Tributes to our loved one is often all we have left. Please purchase a copy of "A Beautiful Woman" by Jason McKenney at Amazon and help in the fight against lung cancer.
I have picked up a few websites of natural approaches in my research for a different problem. one of about 6 that i have is a product called essiac. you can get this from many companies . but my favorite is secrets of eden . (no i am not affiliated with them in any way) I just love their products and you can actually call up and talk to the owner , he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
@coolindividual81 google the name caisse, essiac is the name backwards of the lady who first discovered what you are referring to. So, whomever you are talking to is not the owner. Do your homework. :)
@coolindividual81 You know it's really a shame when in your heart you are really just trying to help somebody out with useful information and you can't even do that without getting judged and corrected. I am fully aware and did all my RESEARCH before I commented and again I was refering to talking to the OWNER of SECRETS OF EDEN store .
@coolindividual81 That's Mrs Smart Alec to you. LOL Aha its a store! As a lung cancer survivor I knew the story on Caisse or essiac, during my research on cancer. :) This video makes me cry.
@coolindividual81 That's Mrs Smart Alec to you. Aha its a store! As a lung cancer survivor I knew the story on Caisse or essiac, during my research on cancer. :) Do you have someone close with cancer? Too many people are ignorant about lung cancer, never mind knowing what helps someone with it. Like the message saying this should make someone stop smoking. A child doesn't smoke, but they get lung cancer. Smoking doesn't cause all lung cancers. This video makes me cry. I so feel for the family
@crackerjacks46 I am dealing with a totally different sickness that I have been battling for 2 years which was the direct cause of a medical doctor who kept prescribing me antibiotics. Though I can't blame her fully because even though I was ignorant at the time of any alternative treatments , I still blindly trusted her and didn't see fit at the time to change my own lifestyle.
@crackerjacks46 My Grandmother had skin cancer on her face which doctors had to cut out leaving her with half a nose and chunks out of her lips and cheek. and my mother had thyroid cancer and had to have it all removed and is on medication for the rest of her life.
@crackerjacks46 All of this has caused me to step back and realize the importance of cleaning out ones system, changing the way I PERSONALLY eat , and taking responsablilty for ones own health ,listening to ones body along with many , many other things that I have learned over several years.
@crackerjacks46 Sickness also makes a person more sympathetic, and Empathetic towards the suffering of others and at least for me puts that intense need to help someone else out with whatever knowledge I have gained. I feel for and love PEOPLE as all of us are God's creation and I feel pain when others are in pain. And that's all.
Hokum sanctified by the church of the A.M.A. is meaningless. Radiation, and the inevitable radiation-sickness it wroughts, is the curative for nothing. Yet, curiously, our misplaced reverence for men in lab jackets says otherwise. Would we, as expected, expose our children to irradiation and toxins at the promptings and urgings of these allopaths simply because their atrocious methodologies are approved by an international guild?
my uncle has lung cancer, but he never smoked! its so bad that pieces of his lungs are coming out! Please pray for him, He is so amazing and knowing that he is in such pain is killing me inside, I really want him 2 be here with us 4 Christmas. the people at the hospital said there is nothing we can do so go home and wait for your time to come!that hurt me so badly, how can you send someone home to die? I would mean so much to be if you kept him in ur prayers He is only 35 and the best uncle ever
@KarinasPets Only 35? Wow .. I'm so sorry. How long ago was he diagnosed, if you don't mind me asking? My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer 2/2/09 and died 4/10/10. :( And my dad was diagnosed 9/01 and died 4/06/02.
the governments endorse them and noone says shit if you check stats you will see you are far less likely to die if you drink alcohol and do every illicit drug on the street everyday than to smoke cigarettes yet noone likes drunks or illicit drugs.
I've too went through the same thing with my mother. she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer of may 07 and I just lost her this April 24Th 2010. I miss every moment of everyday and I wish I could be with her again! my mom Judy my love, my life, my heart....MOM!
@brandyandryan07 So sorry for your loss...dad died a while back lung cancer, suffered but he would not stop smoking...now mom and dad gone..but we haveta go on..I've never smoked...my children don't either...at least we can live hopefully a while longer...bless you..
i dont get why people smoke. its just killing them slowly. i learned my lesson when i was 10 years old, when i lost my grandma from lung cancer. she smoked for 50 years, that caused her to be taken away from us. she died in 2006 after only a 6 week long battle. the day she died was the day god took the most important person in my life away from me. i miss her soo much, and im never going to smoke, if it means putting myself into an early grave.
@katie1741 Me either. It's causing problems between the smokers in my family and I. I hardly go anywhere, I don't want to smell the damn smoke. It's already ruined sinuses, causes migraines, etc. etc. I'm sorry for your gramma's death. Good for you for never starting!!! You may save YOUR life and someone elses!
Are you comparable to internet doctors that recommend MSM/Fish oil/other crap for joint pain? What do you gain through advertising these medicines? I've seen it all to often, kind of saddening.
If it can genuinely help sick people get a better quality of life without obliterating their checking account, then my work is done. You don't see any affiliate links, do you? ^_^
BTW, If you want the best fish oil at best $, the Kirkland Signature Fish Oil at 10$ a bottle does a good job. (^_^)
Really really sorry for your loss, you have I hope happy memories of her that don't involve cancer. I think cancer is NEARLY as bad for the family as the person with it. I speak from experience, I dealt with it poorly. I should have been stronger but cancer and all it involved hospitals appointments, tests, waiting for results and surgery made me a nervous wreck. it shook me to see how many people are sitting in hospital oncologist outpatients offices any given day..god bless you and your family
Drink Cayenne pepper in Capsule or Powder form before,during, and after chemo if you are not allergic to pepper. You can buy a Big bottle for less than $5 at any grocery store.....If you DON'T BELIEVE this capsaicin Kills cancer, then google these: Hot Peppers cancer, or capsaicin cancer, etc...Scientists at Universities and Big Medical centers have DISCOVERED why people in India and parts of Latin America don't get cancer like Americans...Cayenne to KILL and Coffee to Prevent.
Wow, clicking on this video and reading the comments and all im reading about is death and hurt for family members, I'm 16 and this is my 3rd week off them... oh and R.I.P all those who have lost their lives to this malignant drug
my grandfather died of the same cancer, he didn't smoke but he worked in factories so I guess that's what happen...god bless you're family.. I couldn't imagine a day without my mother.
my uncle died of this horrible disease like 6 days ago =[...rest in peace uncle jorge we love you and miss you!!!!!rest in peace i know how it feels bewitt familt its hared to lose somebody...but thyre with god now...in a better place than we we are..
I know your pain...My grandfather died from smoking in 2008 at the age of 93. He was a 3 pack a day man for 72 years. He wrapped himself around a light post when his Lucky Strike fell into his lap and burned through his pants. He will be missed. Grandma at 89 still smokes Camels but no longer drives.
So sorry for your loss, my father has stage IV lung cancer (large cell). He was diagnosed about two months ago. I am a Nurse but to watch my own father go through this is almost too much to bear. He had a bad reaction to one of his chemo drugs causing a hole in the intestines and it spilled out into the abdomen causing a severe infection. He was in the hospital for over a week. He is scheduled for his second chemo treatment this Friday. He is already becoming withdrawn.
What a beautiful tribute. It reminds me of my own family. My Aunt Julie died a few weeks ago at the age of 48 from lung cancer. She never smoked. She left behind three young children and a lot of family and friends who loved her.
I am so very sorry for your loss, and for ours. Lung cancer awareness...
My father died of stage 4 lung cancer on May 21st, 2009. He was diagnosed August 28, 2008. Imagine not only what the patient goes through, but what the family goes through. I had to stand there and watch my father wither away to nothing for two months because of a bacterial infection caused by radiation, that made him unable to eat. RIP your mother and my father.
I one-stared this. I smoke and I feel damn good about it. I apreciate the fact that other people have a bigger interest in their health than me so I try not to let them passively smoke.
But personally I'd rather die at 50 than force myself to be healthy. Have a good day anti-drug bigots and keep feeding your children ritalin.
Every time I watch it I cry. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I quit smoking 4 weeks ago. I was a real chain smoker. I had been smoking for over 20 years! It's hard but every time when I feel weak I think of this video and the woman who died of lung cancer. This video motivates me to stay a non-smoker.
FYI, Cigarettes are hard to banned. Government make a lot of profit and taxes from them and banning them will lose profits. But I know every 10 people in a hospital bed, 4-6 are diagnosed by lung cancer and treated with chemotherapy.
my grandad dies of lung cancer when i was 12 on 11/01.08 and it has been so hard without him. he was a smoker but i cant believe that something so innocent can cause so much harm. x
My husband has lung cancer - he has never smoked but had a mother who did. Thank you for bringing awareness to Lung Cancer as this is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
He can cure himself in 2-3 months with "hemp oil". I'm not telling you some other experience it's my own... Please, try! His condition will improve every day...
look into apricot seeds..it is a cure for cancer..fda is not for consumers..in fact there was a doctor whose office was raided and shut down, license revoked.. he told his patients to take apricot seeds which had high concentrations of vitamin b-17..which is a major threat to drug companies who pay fda billions of dollars.. look into it..it is in fact a cure 4 cancer...i hope this helps someone..it shrinks tumors & has a 80% success rate & chemo's success rate is much much lower than 80%
Actually, I don't believe that B-17 can cure people (using just that), but I do believe in B-17 as well. Sick person should use several things which are good and one of them will help him for sure... That's my opinion.
I too have given it up (again) and haven't smoked in over 2 years. I miss it. I enjoy it. But it's more important for me to see my 3 year old grow up. I'm so sorry for the DeWitt family.
New hope comes from Thailand. They use thai traditional medicine and they have amazing results! They've done clinical trial for lung cancer stage IIIB/IV and you can see many testimonies on youtube: search "vilac plus".
This was soo touching it made me cry. We are supposed to treat this lady like our own mother and interfere the same way. I think the stupid gov is a joke they don't care they are hurting people's lives here. I feel soo much we should do a movement or something or make some videos and use this one to show people!! that smoking is not cool I want to start a campaign or something
my step dad has stage four throat cancer now. i am trying to quit with the gum and it is working. i am down from a pack a day to 5 to 6 cigs a day maybe less. and thats natural tobbacco. u can do it to.before its to late.
cancer is a horrible virus that is caused by unnatural chemicals in the body.
I lost my Dad to lung cancer a month ago, I miss him very much. I hope they find a cure, every 60 seconds another person is lost to cancer. You are in my thoughts.
Not only does smoking KILL. It's also extremely EXPENSIVE and it STINKS. Every smoker is just plain STUPID. Look at yourself - you've put your life on hold for the 10th time today and you're standing on a street corner, beside a bin, in the rain, slowly smashing your body. To the people who can't quit - you're losers. Just stop buying them and DEAL with the cravings. DO SOMETHING ELSE. Smokers are weaker than heroin addicts - at least heroin gives you a high.
My boyfriend and I have been smoke free now for 3 & 1/2 months. Its been the best choice we ever made in life. Our 3 kids can see their parents live longer lives.
I am SO proud of you two! So proud and I don't even know ya! :*) My dad died 4 yrs ago after being diagnosed with LC. (I have 2 vids here.) God Bless!
Thank you for putting your children first. They found a mass in my moms lung yesterday that is probably cancer. I feel lost. Your kids will never be in my position, and I love you for it.
You know what I think REALLY causes cancer, but they WON'T tell you? THE GROWTH HORMONES they put in our meat supply. The chemicals they put everywhere. Think about it. GROWTH hormones. Cancer is GROWTH of tissue. They feed us hormones to cause GROWTH of cancer. Why wasn't cancer around back BEFORE the GROWTH hormones kicked cancer into high gear? In case you wonder, YES, I lost my dad to cancer. HE DIDN'T SMOKE! But he ate a lot of MCDONALD'S hamburgers. Something to think about.
my dad had lung cancer, he died 3 years ago. he didn't blame tobacco companies or anyone else. he blamed but himself to make that choice to smoke. You are either smart enough or weak enough to make bad choices. I didn't blame tobacco companies for being evil, people are the ones who go to the cigarettes. My dad told me never to smoke at his hospital bed, thats convincing enough for me.
You could NOT have chosen a better song for this video you made. Your mother IS amazing and beautiful. I am really sorry for your loss, but she's really done a LOT for the people who view these videos. You are in my thoughts!
My aunt died of lung cancer 2 years ago, but I'm not mouthing off to people that they will ruin their lungs on cigs, because we KNOW! Can't people stop reminding us? It's useless! YES I would like to die before I get Alzheimer's!
necktwister - Maybe people NEED to be reminded since it is the leading cancer killer AND is the LEAST funded cancer awareness. Don't be such an ass. My dad is battling lung cancer for the 3rd time and it is now at Stage IV. Have a heart.
Smoking is the worlds most evil industry. The medical field profits off of lung cancer thats why there is little treatment for it. The tobacco companies are filthy rich and continue to add more chemicals to their cigarettes every year to make them more addictive. Tobacco companies are silently killing people for their own profit. I lost my farther to lung cancer when I was 16. I hope someone exposes these mass murderers or the government taxes the hell out of cigarettes to stop the suffering.
The medical field does not profit from lung cancer, I work at a hospital, believe, you can have the best treatment in the Universe but tabacco and every other poison in cigarretes causes such horrendous damage that even the best treatment can't save everyone
Thats a very wise decision. I took up smoking for the same reason when i was younger, Im now 21 and have already been diagnosed with an advanced form of emphacema. Spread the word to your friends...YOU DONT NEED TO BE OLDER TO DIE FROM THIS HABBIT!.
please people stop smoking if not for yourself but for the people you love it is scientifically proven that cancer cannot survive in a ph enviorment pass this message on
Alkaline Ionized antioxidant water (healing

I have quit some 7 times or so, and really want this to be the last time so that I won't soon breathe my last. When I lie down at night, it frightens me because I can feel my heart beating against my chest, and I know tha the heartbeat is accelerated. Also, heart disease and high cholesterol run in my family. I hope it isn't too late. Thanks for this moving video. I pray all goes well for you and yours.
As a mom whose son asked me to quit a couple weeks ago I came across this video and like summerloverx08 I have been brought to my knees. I am 3 days smoke free now and instead of having a cigarette with my morning coffee I watch this very touching tribute with susie and her family and pray for them. I have Never been so touched by a video. My prayer's are with you and your family. I have even tried to show my sister who has smoked for years but she isn't ready yet. GodBless you and your family.
faith2doit, search for "Thanks, Tobacco: you killed my mom" . It's not easy to bear but it made me quit smoking, and I'll NEVER EVER start smoking again.
I just want you to know as someone has been trying to quit for 5 years, your tribute to your mother has brought me to my knees and made me realize I NEVER want my children having to talk about me in the same way. I am now 19 days on my stop smoking journey and whenever I weaken, I play your videos. Thank you for being so selfless to share your story to help others. My prayers are with you.
Please stick with it!! I promise you it gets easier and easier. Wait till you have gone 2 months, you will feel as though you have been set free. I have now gone almost 2 years without my cigs, and I used to smoke 40 per day! Please take it one day at a time and dont look ahead. I promise ya, it will be the best decision you ever made in your whole life! Good luck! ;)
You must really miss your wonderful mother. I want you to know that I watch your family videos often and they help to maintain my quit. I hope I quit soon enough to prevent lung cancer. God bless you all.Thank-you for sharing your story.
I had a birthday yesterday and my gift to myself is to have chosen to give up smoking TODAY as I have done it for too many years and hate it. I have just signed up with 'You Tube' today mostly to make comment here....I have cried for your loss and for all others that have lost loved ones. I dont fool myself that harm hasnt been done to my health already...But I refuse to poison myself and others a minute longer. Thankyou for this video...
to:murphinitup, Susie was exposed to 2nd hand smoke from inception through her school age years. She started smoking at a friend's request at 15. She quit at age 27. She was diagnosed at 39. She died at 43. If Susie could change one thing, she would keep all of our kids smoke free. Lung Cancer - Just Stop It!
I is very sad to see someone you love just fade away to something that could have been prevented if only they didn,t smoke i lost an uncle and an aunt to lung cancer and from the time they were diagnosed til the time they passed away it was a little under a year for my aunt and six monthes for my uncle one was on my mothers side and one on my fathers side .
Two, I lost my mother on 11/4/07 to Lung Cancer. I'm currently trying to start a fund raiser to raise awareness for this horrid disease. So many people put this on the back burner. It's called the "silent killer", because it's often found too late. I promised my mother before she died that I would do this for her. I can't let her down. This video was beautiful and made me cry the tears that have been waiting to come out.
I urge anyone diagnosed with lung cancer to PLEASE ask their physician on the type of cancer they may have! Many doctors willnot tell you the type which is ridiculous!
1. Epetheliel cell which is the most curable
2. Adenocarcinoma which can be cured by radiation.
3. Small cell cancer. Used to be very deadly but people are now surviving longer. Ask your doctor! That is a must!
I am sorry but where are you getting your stats from. the prognosis (5 year survival) for anyone with lung Ca is about 5- 15%. Lung cancer is very chemo resistant and dispite inital sensitivity to vinca and platin drugs the disease offen progressed. effectily there is no cure for anyone with advanced stage disease. So please, prevention is better than cure. Dont smoke, and if you do, stop.
Im so sadden by the lose of Susan who was such a fighter. My deepestest sympathy is with her family. I taught my DARE students about her story and the impact of smoking and cancer. Even though they don't know her, her story and the loss of her impacts them and through her they will just say no. Thank you Susan you will be missed.
I am so deeply sorry to learn of Susie's passing; her memory and work will continue, and you and your family are in the prayers of thousands of people whom you've never met. May God be with you.
I would just like a update on how she is doing? Is she still fighting this battel. I watched the montel show of her just before we learned my nana was dying of stage 4 cancer. I feel like Im loosing my mom in slow motion. Any advice on how to make her live as long as your super strong wife/mother has done. She is amazing! And she and your family is in my prayers. God never gives us more than we can Handle. Just make sure she knows Jesus and you will be reunited one day again. God bless.
Susie's mission has always been "Just Don't Do It." It has never been to punish those who smoke. Susie is courageous, brave, and selfless. At the same time that she suffers from lung cancer and a cancer riddled body, she is trying to save other people from having to go through the pain and heartache her family has endured. God loves Susie and so do I! She is a remarkable woman.
I'm a smoker and have been for 21 years. I am desperately trying to quit. It's video like this that put things into perspective to help me quit so I can watch my 6 month old baby girl grow up. It's a disgusting habit.
We've done this for you. Susie was 29 in the scenes singing in her wedding dress. She'd been smoke free for 2 years. The habit won't harm you. The addiction will. Ask your doctor about Chantix. Confront the addiction. Let it know that when having to choose between nicotine and your little girl, she wins. Choose life. Choose participation in graduations, weddings & grand kids. Choose life. Our best to you. RD
Hi i have been so touched by susies story as My Mother is going through the terror of dealing with lung cancer, she has had half of her lung removed and is starting Chemo next week, I pray that she will be ok and will see my 1 year old daughter grow up. How is Susie doing? I will pray for you all xxxxxxxx
Susie has touched so many. I'm glad to know she too touched you. Like your mom's, Susie's care started with with a surgical procedure that set the stage for the next 3 plus years, years that will change our world. We'll pray for your mom (her name?), we'll pray for you.
My mums name is Liz, the wonderful surgeon has taken away half of her left lung , he says ( touch wood) that ALL of the cancer has been taken out, it had just started to spread to the lymph nodes but he removed all of the affected ones after a PET scan revealed that only very few were affected.
sorry...ran out of space.....Mum nevr smoked, but i guess that My Grand Parents smoking like chimneys around her when she was a kid and My dad smoking in the house until 15 years ago has added to it!!! I am arranging a Charity Ball for Cancer research UK next Autumn to try and help raise some much needed funds, I would like to donate some of the proceedings to Susies fund....Keep me posted on how susie is getting on. Fondest regards.
For those of you who are proud smokers, I don't get it. You may think every thing is well right now, today, and I'm sure Suzie did way back when. Every thing may seem well today, thank God you can't see the future and that my friend is what you may want to think about. Smoking is a selfish thing, I am not saying that judgementally, that is a fact!
Thank You for posting us on your wife and I hope that you continue to do so. Can I correct you on something?God allows the 57%. He does not choose it. I hope that you know that what you are doing is greatly appreciated, as it must be hard for you and your family, not to only deal with your situation, but to have the strentgh to continue dealing with the negative. Please continue with your purpose, I am going to go pray for you!
Thank You for Sharing! What a beautiful video and a beautiful family. The videos, yours is the second one in the last week that I have seen that have motivated me to quit smoking, along with what I already had. Could I hear more of the story behind this. My prayers are with you.
Come on, we've all seen the black lungs...some may get lucky, but it certainly can't help your life and can make your life not as healthy and active as it could have been. Plus, after watching these, is it worth it to take the risk?
The number is 9% of people exposed to cig smoke (longest exposure in my wife's support group of 5...was 12 years). Add 2.5% for other cancers, 6.5% to chronic lung disease and 10.5% to heart attack and stroke. These % are based on 90 mil current & x-smokers. Based on 45 mil current smokers, double the percentages......57% (coincidently, the same number quoted by CDC).
Living in a dreamworld 87% canncer free if tobacco was erradicated? Though smoking dies promote the development of some lung cancers, there are many other factors and variables to be also considered.
In fact only 5%-8% of heavy smokers ever contract lung cancer.
This world is a very, heavily polluted cesspool of toxic waste...
I agree with you 100 %, i smoke and i am proud of it, as a matter of fact i feel very at ease with what you said and i'll go have a smoke on you! Cheers mate!
We are saddened to hear the scope of your drug addiction. 57% of all current smokers (like you) will die PREMATURELY; as will 500K non-smokers subjected to ETS in the next 12 years. We can't save you. We pray that we save someone close to you. Your unreflective comment about these 3 kids is tell-all. You're weak. It's taken 10 brain ops, 100 bouts of chemo and $2 mil to sustain this mother of 3. In her youth, her friends and family didn't know any better. Obviously, neither did you.
I am 27 now, started smoking when i was around 16, i am fit as ever, maybe even better when i was 16. My job is a very physical and hands on type of job and i smoke atleast 2 packs a week. What makes you think i will die prematurely? Is'nt that for god to decide and not you. Cheers aye!
Susie was admitted to the hospital again yesterday. Tonight they drain the fluid from her lungs. Our 3 kids are watching their 43 year old mother slip away. I am not God. He chooses the 57%. He chose to have my family spread this message. Susie was georgeous at 16, 28, 39 & now. At 43 she still is, despite her cancer riddled body. I invite the debate. Making light of this may be better understood by my kids than by me. No cheers, only tears.
you obviously have no clue what this family has gone through or what there going through. im sure if you the depth of the situation you woiuld think differently... my prayers for you

I quit 2 years ago. I smoked two packs a day. Please quit before it's too late. Those left behind suffer so very much. There's you, and that's bad... There's them, and that's even worse.

@coolindividual81 That's Mrs Smart Alec to you. Aha its a store! As a lung cancer survivor I knew the story on Caisse or essiac, during my research on cancer. :) Do you have someone close with cancer? Too many people are ignorant about lung cancer, never mind knowing what helps someone with it. Like the message saying this should make someone stop smoking. A child doesn't smoke, but they get lung cancer. Smoking doesn't cause all lung cancers. This video makes me cry. I so feel for the family

@crackerjacks46 I am dealing with a totally different sickness that I have been battling for 2 years which was the direct cause of a medical doctor who kept prescribing me antibiotics. Though I can't blame her fully because even though I was ignorant at the time of any alternative treatments , I still blindly trusted her and didn't see fit at the time to change my own lifestyle.

@crackerjacks46 My Grandmother had skin cancer on her face which doctors had to cut out leaving her with half a nose and chunks out of her lips and cheek. and my mother had thyroid cancer and had to have it all removed and is on medication for the rest of her life.

@crackerjacks46 All of this has caused me to step back and realize the importance of cleaning out ones system, changing the way I PERSONALLY eat , and taking responsablilty for ones own health ,listening to ones body along with many , many other things that I have learned over several years.

@crackerjacks46 Sickness also makes a person more sympathetic, and Empathetic towards the suffering of others and at least for me puts that intense need to help someone else out with whatever knowledge I have gained. I feel for and love PEOPLE as all of us are God's creation and I feel pain when others are in pain. And that's all.

Hokum sanctified by the church of the A.M.A. is meaningless. Radiation, and the inevitable radiation-sickness it wroughts, is the curative for nothing. Yet, curiously, our misplaced reverence for men in lab jackets says otherwise. Would we, as expected, expose our children to irradiation and toxins at the promptings and urgings of these allopaths simply because their atrocious methodologies are approved by an international guild?

the governments endorse them and noone says shit if you check stats you will see you are far less likely to die if you drink alcohol and do every illicit drug on the street everyday than to smoke cigarettes yet noone likes drunks or illicit drugs.
heres your basic death rates per day
-all illicit drugs combined:1.(surprising isnt it)
-alcohol:15.
-cigarettes:50.
cant see any logic? cigarettes drastically boost the economy by lowering spirits
drugs cost the economy by causing people joy

Lung cancer is really no joke. The comments here really confirm it.
Here is my own cheap alternative medecine to people with lung cancer, it WON'T cure it but it MIGHT alleviate symptoms:
- 100 mg/day grape seed extract (Trunature at Costco 23$)
- 100 mg/ COQ10 (Qunol 25$ Costco)
- 2 tablets/ day Source Naturals Life Force Multiple (31$ Amazon)
- Cannabis (Yeah I said it!)
There's also Immunocal that is very powerful BUT it's sold through MLM and a lot of people don't like MLM.
Good luck!

So sorry for your loss, my father has stage IV lung cancer (large cell). He was diagnosed about two months ago. I am a Nurse but to watch my own father go through this is almost too much to bear. He had a bad reaction to one of his chemo drugs causing a hole in the intestines and it spilled out into the abdomen causing a severe infection. He was in the hospital for over a week. He is scheduled for his second chemo treatment this Friday. He is already becoming withdrawn.

Not only does smoking KILL. It's also extremely EXPENSIVE and it STINKS. Every smoker is just plain STUPID. Look at yourself - you've put your life on hold for the 10th time today and you're standing on a street corner, beside a bin, in the rain, slowly smashing your body. To the people who can't quit - you're losers. Just stop buying them and DEAL with the cravings. DO SOMETHING ELSE. Smokers are weaker than heroin addicts - at least heroin gives you a high.

Cancer is GROWTH of tissue. They feed us hormones to cause GROWTH of cancer. Why wasn't cancer around back BEFORE the GROWTH hormones kicked cancer into high gear?

Smoking is the worlds most evil industry. The medical field profits off of lung cancer thats why there is little treatment for it. The tobacco companies are filthy rich and continue to add more chemicals to their cigarettes every year to make them more addictive.

I hope someone exposes these mass murderers or the government taxes the hell out of cigarettes to stop the suffering.

It's called the "silent killer", because it's often found too late. I promised my mother before she died that I would do this for her. I can't let her down. This video was beautiful and made me cry the tears that have been waiting to come out.

I urge anyone diagnosed with lung cancer to PLEASE ask their physician on the type of cancer they may have! Many doctors willnot tell you the type which is ridiculous!
1. Epetheliel cell which is the most curable
2. Adenocarcinoma which can be cured by radiation.
3. Small cell cancer. Used to be very deadly but people are now surviving longer. Ask your doctor! That is a must!

I am sorry but where are you getting your stats from. the prognosis (5 year survival) for anyone with lung Ca is about 5- 15%. Lung cancer is very chemo resistant and dispite inital sensitivity to vinca and platin drugs the disease offen progressed. effectily there is no cure for anyone with advanced stage disease. So please, prevention is better than cure. Dont smoke, and if you do, stop.

T- Tumor
N- Nodes
m- Metastisis I have more info to post!

Im so sadden by the lose of Susan who was such a fighter. My deepestest sympathy is with her family. I taught my DARE students about her story and the impact of smoking and cancer. Even though they don't know her, her story and the loss of her impacts them and through her they will just say no. Thank you Susan you will be missed.

I am so deeply sorry to learn of Susie's passing; her memory and work will continue, and you and your family are in the prayers of thousands of people whom you've never met. May God be with you.

I would just like a update on how she is doing? Is she still fighting this battel. I watched the montel show of her just before we learned my nana was dying of stage 4 cancer. I feel like Im loosing my mom in slow motion. Any advice on how to make her live as long as your super strong wife/mother has done. She is amazing! And she and your family is in my prayers. God never gives us more than we can Handle. Just make sure she knows Jesus and you will be reunited one day again. God bless.

Susie's mission has always been "Just Don't Do It." It has never been to punish those who smoke. Susie is courageous, brave, and selfless. At the same time that she suffers from lung cancer and a cancer riddled body, she is trying to save other people from having to go through the pain and heartache her family has endured. God loves Susie and so do I! She is a remarkable woman.

I'm a smoker and have been for 21 years. I am desperately trying to quit. It's video like this that put things into perspective to help me quit so I can watch my 6 month old baby girl grow up. It's a disgusting habit.

We've done this for you. Susie was 29 in the scenes singing in her wedding dress. She'd been smoke free for 2 years. The habit won't harm you. The addiction will. Ask your doctor about Chantix. Confront the addiction. Let it know that when having to choose between nicotine and your little girl, she wins. Choose life. Choose participation in graduations, weddings & grand kids. Choose life. Our best to you. RD

Hi i have been so touched by susies story as My Mother is going through the terror of dealing with lung cancer, she has had half of her lung removed and is starting Chemo next week, I pray that she will be ok and will see my 1 year old daughter grow up. How is Susie doing? I will pray for you all xxxxxxxx

Susie has touched so many. I'm glad to know she too touched you. Like your mom's, Susie's care started with with a surgical procedure that set the stage for the next 3 plus years, years that will change our world. We'll pray for your mom (her name?), we'll pray for you.

My mums name is Liz, the wonderful surgeon has taken away half of her left lung , he says ( touch wood) that ALL of the cancer has been taken out, it had just started to spread to the lymph nodes but he removed all of the affected ones after a PET scan revealed that only very few were affected.

sorry...ran out of space.....Mum nevr smoked, but i guess that My Grand Parents smoking like chimneys around her when she was a kid and My dad smoking in the house until 15 years ago has added to it!!! I am arranging a Charity Ball for Cancer research UK next Autumn to try and help raise some much needed funds, I would like to donate some of the proceedings to Susies fund....Keep me posted on how susie is getting on. Fondest regards.

For those of you who are proud smokers, I don't get it. You may think every thing is well right now, today, and I'm sure Suzie did way back when. Every thing may seem well today, thank God you can't see the future and that my friend is what you may want to think about. Smoking is a selfish thing, I am not saying that judgementally, that is a fact!

Hi,
Thank You for posting us on your wife and I hope that you continue to do so. Can I correct you on something?God allows the 57%. He does not choose it. I hope that you know that what you are doing is greatly appreciated, as it must be hard for you and your family, not to only deal with your situation, but to have the strentgh to continue dealing with the negative. Please continue with your purpose, I am going to go pray for you!

Come on, we've all seen the black lungs...some may get lucky, but it certainly can't help your life and can make your life not as healthy and active as it could have been. Plus, after watching these, is it worth it to take the risk?

It's just much easier to blame most illnesses on smoking, when in fact smoking is only a part of the big picture.
If most people really had a clue just how polluted this planet really is, they would likely die of fright.
And rightly so...

The number is 9% of people exposed to cig smoke (longest exposure in my wife's support group of 5...was 12 years). Add 2.5% for other cancers, 6.5% to chronic lung disease and 10.5% to heart attack and stroke. These % are based on 90 mil current & x-smokers. Based on 45 mil current smokers, double the percentages......57% (coincidently, the same number quoted by CDC).

Living in a dreamworld 87% canncer free if tobacco was erradicated? Though smoking dies promote the development of some lung cancers, there are many other factors and variables to be also considered.
In fact only 5%-8% of heavy smokers ever contract lung cancer.
This world is a very, heavily polluted cesspool of toxic waste...

I agree with you 100 %, i smoke and i am proud of it, as a matter of fact i feel very at ease with what you said and i'll go have a smoke on you! Cheers mate!

We are saddened to hear the scope of your drug addiction. 57% of all current smokers (like you) will die PREMATURELY; as will 500K non-smokers subjected to ETS in the next 12 years. We can't save you. We pray that we save someone close to you. Your unreflective comment about these 3 kids is tell-all. You're weak. It's taken 10 brain ops, 100 bouts of chemo and $2 mil to sustain this mother of 3. In her youth, her friends and family didn't know any better. Obviously, neither did you.

I am 27 now, started smoking when i was around 16, i am fit as ever, maybe even better when i was 16. My job is a very physical and hands on type of job and i smoke atleast 2 packs a week. What makes you think i will die prematurely? Is'nt that for god to decide and not you. Cheers aye!

Susie was admitted to the hospital again yesterday. Tonight they drain the fluid from her lungs. Our 3 kids are watching their 43 year old mother slip away. I am not God. He chooses the 57%. He chose to have my family spread this message. Susie was georgeous at 16, 28, 39 & now. At 43 she still is, despite her cancer riddled body. I invite the debate. Making light of this may be better understood by my kids than by me. No cheers, only tears.
