  1. Please don't beat yourself up about smoking. When the time is right for you, you will quit. I was dx in June 07, went straight to my car and lit up. This is an awfully stressful time and it is very difficult to stop. When I was told I had lung cancer I had already been trying to quit. I knew something was wrong with my lungs but wasn't thinking cancer. Had been taking Chantix for about a month or so, was stil smoking but down to about 5 or 6 a day. the day they told me i smoked at least a pack. Things went on like that pretty much until Oct 3, my 45th birthday, when I had my surgery. Stil on chantix but at least i had 6 days in the hospital where i couldn't smoke. I havent smoked since. give yourself a break, it is very hard to quit. I smoked for 35 years and never even tried to quit before. Just thinking about it would make me very "not very nice" ha ha ,by the way, i never could have done it without the medicene. they say some people have problems with depression while taking chantix but i had no probems. it really helped with the need part. i didn't really crave ciggarettes so much as had to deal with the habit part of "pick up the phone, pick up a cig". that kind of thing. maybe it could help you too. good luck to you and your man.
  2. I had an upper right lobectomy done. Are you able to do the surgery using VATS. If you are it sounds like the recovery for that is really fast. I was not able to, was cut from the top of my shoulder blade to the bottom of my ribs, but that is because it had invaded the chest wall. i was in hospital for 6 days and when i got home my daughter was a godsend. I really did need her for at least a week. I wish you good luck and a speedy recovery.
