Go to the OFC Cancer Blogs forum and read the entire post- Richs plea!- I remember reading a drug that was given to Rich for smoking cessation and Julie said it seemed to make a difference. Now Rich was so addicted that he even smoked while his mouth was filled with blood from his cancer.
Lolita, we all react differently both mentally and physically to this ordeal and we all try to deal with all these issues in our own way. Don't hesitate to discuss your feelings with a trained professional.
