I was recently diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma and sometime in the near future I’ll be meeting with an oncologist and starting treatment. I want to quit smoking to help my situation, but I don’t know the best way to go about it. Quitting cold turkey would obviously be a good idea, but I honestly don’t think I’m capable of doing that. I’ve used patches successfully before, but it took a matter of months to quit that way. I’m not very familiar with nicotine gum, prescription stop-smoking aids, or anything else that may be out there. I’d like to quit a.s.a.p. to avoid becoming sicker during treatment. I’m also concerned about interactions between a stop-smoking aid and chemo/radiation therapy, if my method of quitting did need to take place while I was being treated. Any suggestions or info would mean a lot…
