Are you asking us to tell you how long we think it might take for your cancer to come back? If that's the case, I doubt that anyone will answer that one.
The one thing I will tell you is that David is right. Give it up. If you don't give up smoking, you do stand a better chance of your cancer coming back. I do smoke cessation counciling in my office and if you would like some phone numbers and web resources, don't hesitate to send me an email.
