also scared i have an anerysum:

There is a chance she will get cancer of course but this is something she has to address herself Emma - you can't do it for her.

If you had one you would be dead by now.

yes i agree its just scary i dont want to loose her.
i've said it upsets me but can't do anymore than that.

Thanks-
it also hurts when i raise my eyebrows on the lump :(

Smokers do cough it maybe nothing, I used to cough when I smoked, has it got worse? Has she had it checked out, but as Nicola said it is really up to her to address it. On the other han my Mum died of lung cancer so I know why you are worried x
