Вставка

- Julia successfully quit smoking while she was pregnant. Later, she relapsed but tried to avoid smoking around her son. She didn't think too much about her own health. Then she was diagnosed with colon cancer and nearly died. In this video from CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Julia talks about how her battle with colon cancer terrified her family. And her smoking? "What I was doing was damaging to myself and the people around me."

I'm proud of my friend Julia for telling her story to encourage people to stop smoking and get screened for colon cancer.
She still around?
Thank you, Julia, for speaking up!
It's amazing to me that people still smoke after all the knowledge we have these days about the dangers of smoking. I'm a non-smoker and I grew up with smokers and it gave me severe asthma attacks. I also lost my aunt to smoking. She was only 60 years old when she died from C.O.P.D. It is never worth killing yourself or harming others from smoking. My advise to smokers is to quit before the damage starts because once it starts then it's too late. Don't think it can't happen to you. It can. I lost my aunt who was very dear to me. How many more aunt's do we have to lose to this terrible thing called smoking. Please wake up now.
You can't change ignorance. You can't help those that don't want to help themselves.
It starts with YOU taking responsibility for YOURSELF. 🧡
For my Dad it came down to stress and fear making the craving worse. After his heart attack and after being diagnosed with COPD he was so stressed and so scared that smoking was the only thing that calmed him down. He was told, in 1990, that he would likely be dead in 6 months. He passed away in 2019 after being smoke free for 9 years.
Sorry for you
And because ostomy surgery exists, she's STILL HERE for her mother and her son! What's the problem with that? (See her other videos) I'm damn grateful that the surgery -- done when my kids were 11 and 14, and when I was DYING from advanced ulcerative colitis -- gave me my life back. I have seen my daughter graduate from high school and college, I've got three wonderful little granddaughters from my husband's kids who I am alive to enjoy and spoil
+Why You No Like? Yes I'm still alive and doing better than ever. I found out about a surgery to revise my ostomy and had it done earlier this year, so I still have an ostomy but no bag anymore (I have an internal stoma and pouch that I empty by putting a catheter in a different permanent hole in my lower abdomen. And if I had to still have the bag I'd be ok with that.
I started at 24 years old.
I’ve smoked a day or 2. I was begging my dad to stop smoking.
my loveling grand Tia died of colon cancer....my grandpa was depressed for 2 weeks because 3 weeks before she died she was happy to see us she was with spending time with my step grandma and grandpa and i remember when she was light skinned and her hair was curly when she was diagnosed she never stopped doing what she did she never stopped going to church never stopped working at the nursing home in Calexico but that was 4 years ago then when I saw her March of 2016 she was short and dark from all the radiation therapy... her last day was very emotional for my grandpa because 2 days before she had surgery done to remove the tumor it moved to her brain she was ready to go she couldn't speak but hold my grandpas she stared at him as if she was saying " rafis....I can't do it anymore....I'm weak...I can't go any further with this....I'm sorry my big brother..." she died in her sleep peacefully....just how she wanted my uncle who's like the one cousin you have a good relationship with was struck with intense sadness because a few after he was gonna get married to his GF and his mom ,my grand Tia, promised him she would be there
Every word right on. Well said! 😊
How dare you put your life saving Ostomy in such a NEGITIVE light!!.. I have had my Ostomy for 35 years. Do you realize you have set the Ostomy World back 40 years and probably cost millions their life because they won't have this LIFE SAVING SURGERY!!
Georga Linkous-Long As life saving as a colostomy is, I don't think somebody would want to get one just for fun. It's good that getting a colostomy kept her alive, but it would have been better to stay alive without one.
I love my ostomy bag I want to keep it forever but the surgery wasn't great ;)
Wow
Thank you
SORRY BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OR TO WHO YOU TEXT THAT TO BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SENT THAT TO ME AND IF SO THEN WHY WOULD YOU HAVE SENT THAT TO ME FOR 'WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ME AND I KNOW THAT I DON'T THINK THAT I EVEN KNOW YOU !
Hello every pony
?
Wow.... :(
This is offensive to people will an illness that has forced them so have to use one of these. these people are human and are fighting to stay alive, healthy and happy and i find it sick to portray someone unfortunate enough to have to use these as something to be ashamed of.
It's been proven that colorectal cancer isn't effected by smoking so she just got unlucky
