What type of support network, family and friends, do you have? It sounds like you need someone in your life to support you in giving up smoking.
You were lucky they caught your cancer early and you didn't have nodes or mets involved. And, they gave you an intense treatment and continued follow ups. The docs did and are doing their part, now you need to do yours.
You sound lost as if you don't know what to do next. If drugs aren't working, try professional counseling with an addiction specialist to stop smoking.
We can support you here and celebrate in your successes...like today, can you try to smoke 1/2 of what you did yesterday?
Please try to get additional in-person help. Wishing you the best! Margaret ---------- C/G: Husband, 48 (at time of dx) Dx 5/18/07 SCC, BOT, lymph node involvement. T1N2BM0.
