I agree with both Malka and Jim that it is hard quitting the cigarettes which I did only a few days before my operation however I am very worried about your post.
I have just been reading some of your previous ones again and also Sophia's as she started this thread last month.
I notice that Sophia's postings are now on Oral Cancer Recurrence/Current Situation and after reading the latest on the 26th note that she is also going through some hard times.
Lynn, there are also a lot here who have been depressed at various stages of our journey. I can only suggest that you talk to your GP about this. He/She should be able to refer you to some experts who can help in this field. Please take care keep us updated.
Love
Gabriele
