Im very glad to hear you have given up tobacco. Im sure the health problems have helped you to quit smoking. Nothing like having a serious health condition to make you get rid of the cigs. I didnt quit until I was diagnosed with oral cancer. Now I can proudly say I am 6+ years tobacco free. Hope you will remain free from using tobacco, its not easy but you can do it.
SInce you have a cancer diagnosis you may consider seeking out one of the countrys top comprehensive cancer centers (CCC). They have a whole team who get together to discuss your individual case and they all give their input for a treatment plan. Please let me know if you need the list.
Best wishes with everything!
