gaattagirl, Hi just read your post. I wanted to relay some info. For me quitting smoking was not that bad. The thing that worked for me was the netting they use to clamp your head down to the table for rad treatment. It was about 200 degrees and it was like a sledge hammer to my reality! The pain of the heat was gone in about 10 seconds but I remember it like it just happened. I am a 30+ year smoker and I had just taken up a new hobby- cigar smoking! It is all gone now, I haven't inhaled any smoke since that moment. Surgery didn't stop me, cancer didn't stop me but that damn netting worked!!! I guess I'm saying you have to pick a moment in time and it has to be important enough for you to say enough is enough. I didn't have chemo (I may, don't know) but I am smoke free! Good Luck!! Tony
