As broke as I am...you couldn't pay me to EVER have another cig. And IF I ever even think about it, all I have to do is look at my Mask again! I hope & pray you both quit! I'm sorry for all the side affects your wife is having, so long after TX. It gets real boring when you can't eat all the stuff you once enjoyed. The TV commercials (about food) sure don't help! The Red Lobster com. just about does me in every time! I can understand your wife's fear..to much info is not good. But, maybe some of the stories would make you (both) stop smoking. What does your medical team think of her situation? Is she still loosing wieght & strength? Take advatage of the drinks avail. (Boost, Ensure etc.)
