Thanks so much for your reply. I'm 61 and I hate to say this but cigarettes were my escape for 45 years. When I was 16, it was glamorous to smoke. When I had kids, smoking eased any stress and believe it or not, I'm a nurse and many of us smoke to relieve the tension. I WILL NOT give in. 35 rounds of radiation, 2 rounds of chemo and I have two more rounds ahead of me. I haven't had any tests yet to see if treatments have worked but I have a great team of medical people and I have hope. As for what I miss the most about smoking - it's that first great??? inhale. I've found straws work!! Thanks again.
