Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / August 2007More news on my surgery
I finally pestered Shands till today the Coordinator for the surgeon that will remove my breast called this morning to set up an appt on Sept 12th. We will discuss the procedure and other info. Then he will get together with the plastic surgeon and get a date set for my surgery. I absolutely HAVE TO quit smoking before the surgery and thru the recovery so I started on the stop smoking Meds on Monday. I have to keep smoking for a week and then increase the meds and stop smoking on Sunday and hope to never touch a cigarette again. Much prayers are needed to do this. Thank you for all of you and your support. > I finally pestered Shands till today the Coordinator for the surgeon > that will remove my breast called this morning to set up an appt on [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Sunday and hope to never touch a cigarette again. Much prayers are > needed to do this. Please do try to stop smoking as soon as possible. You'll feel much better and your pocket will benefit enormously! As one of my bosses used to say to me, "Just think of how much good wine we could buy if we didn't burn money!" I'll be thinking of you, keep in touch.

Yes, smoking effects post operative recovery. Glad to hear you have a plan, Alex > I have to > keep smoking for a week and then increase the meds and stop smoking on > Sunday and hope to never touch a cigarette again. You *can* do this. Find some new & distracting things to do at times when you'd usually smoke. Give yourself a little (healthful) reward for each day or week you get through without smoking (bubblebath? massage? phone call to your most-fun friend?) Sending best wishes, Ann T.
