Hi Hazel,
This is Annie from BCNA. Hopefully there'll be a couple of women out there who are in the same boat and happy to share their experiences with you.
In the meantime I thought I'd jump on here and shout some encouragement! I think your determination is awesome.
I have heard from people who have quit successfully who say that their GP helped them a lot. Your GP will be able to work out a plan to help you quit successfully, all the while taking into consideration your chemotherapy treatment.
Also, the Quitline (13 78 48) offers free phone advice, support and information resources to help you quit. They also have a website with useful information - www.quitnow.gov.au.
Good luck Hazel. I say don't be too hard on yourself, and if you're struggling, I really think your GP and the Quitline can help. Please keep us updated with how you're going.
