BigBo10 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yesterday was day 100 if my counting is correct. Serious question. Can I now class myself as a non-smoker?My old physics teacher would often tell us that if asked he was a smoker he just hadn’t had a smoke in (at the time) 12 years. He devised once a smoker or drinker you always were but were no longer partaking. Utterly useless answer to your question I suppose but an alternative viewpoint. 12 full months without is the general accepted guideline for insurance and the likes I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yesterday was day 100 if my counting is correct. Serious question. Can I now class myself as a non-smoker?Probably the best solution here is to ask a medical profession how long it takes for your lungs to somehow eject all the poisonous shite you rammed into them, and otherwise repair the horrific self inflicted damage, then wait about that long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so addictive don't ever think you can just have one or sneak one after a few drinks etc as that can soon reel you back in. Well done anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt my lungs will ever fully recover. Forty years smoking is probably as high as 300,000 cigarettes smoked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Hospital today: Blood test came back showing my liver function continuing to normalise as well as tumour markers being negative. My Doctor told me my next chemotherapy cycle will be the last. I was originally told I could be on it for 2 years but they decided to end it after 1 year. Mixed feelings about this tbh.

It is, at first being told you need chemotherapy is a nightmare but then psychologically you start feel safe within taking it and worry about coming off it because you've not had enough. Weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
