It looks like you were diagnosed and treated very quickly. Will you be having any other treatment such as radiation? It wasnt that long ago, how is your healing coming along? Please ask if you have any questions. To help you heal quicker, try increasing your protein intake. Congrats on quitting smoking, even a light smoker can struggle to quit. Hopefully the tobacco habit will continue to be a thing of the past.
Best wishes with your recovery.
