After been told in Jan that i had breast cancer just knew i had got to stop.

With the thought of chemo etc got to give myself the best possible chance for the body to recover without all the awful smoke as well.

Last one the 1st Feb which was my day of surgery going well at the moment.

Good luck with the chemo I'm sure everyone on the forum will be routing for you

Well done Pammie, 5 weeks is no small feat and with all the stress you must be under it is nothing short of remarkable.

Good luck with the treatment and the quit......I am sure they will both be very successful.

Thanks to everybody for your kind comments.

This will keep me going. It is hard and with all the stress as well but not going to give in.

On patches but not going to rush to come off them but will get there.

Good luck to all of you on your quits

Pammie you are an inspiration to us - a lot of people in your situation would have used smoking as a crutch but you have faced the situation head on and I am sure your treatment will be much more succesfull now - well done to you and best of luck xx

Hi Dottie see we are close together on quit dates. How are you doing do you find it hard or not so bad.

Some days for me are awful then other days fine.

Hi Pammie, I am a 11 year breast cancer survivor. Hang in there, you can do this!!! I also quit when I found out I had cancer but after the treatments and everything I started back on the nasty cancer sticks. Don't make that mistake, please!!

I am now 70 days into my new quit and loving it!! Hang in there and if you need another breast cancer survivor to talk to I would be proud to lend my ear!! I will pray for your continued success at not smoking and the best outcome possible with the cancer!!! God bless and keep you.....ppat
