All of you should quiit smoking!!! It is one of the highest risk factors in getting this diease in the first place. His chances of a recurrance is much higher to continue to smoke. Having other members of the household smoke will make it harder on him. Heed Gary's posting, It's not a pretty picture is it?
You are only 19 yars old, Smoking in a way is a kind of disrespect to your Father. Knowing what caused his cancer would wake up most people to it's dangers. I'm sorry if I offended you but I needed to say what I said. I wish you and your family good health.
