Dear Tina,
I was diagnosed with stage 3b cervical cancer in September. When the Dr. asked if I was a smoker I had told him that I quit in August. He advised that it was a good thing because smoking can cause not only your treatment not to be as successful but it can also increase your chances of getting lung cancer by 10,000%. And those were his exact words. I am not a professional, just passing along what was told to me.
