I am a 54 year old female diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 1b and will be undergoing radical hysterectomy,bi-lateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic node dissection in a couple of weeks. I have been on Nicorette lozenges to quit smoking for several weeks, this is one of several attempts over the past 20 years but feel I amready and successful so far this time at quitting. My question is the Nicorette helping to feed the cervical cancer cells? Is there a better alternative if this is the case? I have made many changes to try and help myself beat this disease. Can you also recommend a diet and vitamin regime that would be beneficial? I am an otherwise healthy woman.
