Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m sorry. I just have to get this off my chest. A lot of my friends here smoke. Don’t worry I don’t. But I’m worried because I stand next to them a lot in between classes, and I noticed that I haven’t been breathing as smoothly as I used to. Like sometimes I’ll breath faster than my friends and make this annoying hissing noise. I also cough a lot now. I never coughed that much at home, right? Also, my cheeks look puffy and Mamashealth.com said that swelling of the neck and face is a very common symptom of lung cancer. I’m ok right? Please tell me that I don’t have cancer. Why did I study abroad in France :(
