Cressida, I agree with Angi -maybe a patch, or some other recommendation from the hospital, which must have smoking cessation programs - I'm sure they have them in hem-onc for lung cancer patients. I'm sorry to hear you feel less womanly with one breast- SO not the case. We're women from the inside out - our breasts are simply the cover over our hearts and souls. However, I understand wanting to feel normal. And where I got my reconstruction done, there was no age limit - BUT if you smoked AT ALL, they wouldn't do a reconstruction, as the blood supply to the new tissue has to be absolutely unimpaired by nicotine. So there's another reason to quit - I know it's a terrific challenge - but good luck. - PJH
