Hey!
I hear you on the driving thing...my husband was told in no incertain terms by an ED nurse that with the amount of meds he is on there was no way he should be driving unless he wanted to end up there after a car accident. I then spoke to his GP and specialist who both agreed that he should not be driving....this for him is THE WORST! WE are in the process of selling his car as we need the cash, he can't drive it if it is not there and it is old.....he constantlt throws it in my face that he has committed no crime, except to get cancer, he has done nothing wrong, except to get cancer and he is being punished by having his one hope of freedom taken away. He has been helped considerably by the Palliative Care people who will drive him wherever he wants to go at a (seemingly) moment's notice......which has given him a newish lease on life. He still can't wait to get his licence back and constantly buys lotto and scratchies in the hope he will win big and buy the best car ever!
As for the smoking thing.....my grandmother had her voicebox removed because of cancer caused by smoking and I have memories in the 80s of her smoking through the stoma in her neck......She had to do what she had to do. In the end she died from Anorexia- caused by a fear of food getting caught in her throat, so she stopped eating.....go figure! CANCER is a CRAZY CRAZY trip.....one no one would go on if they had the choice!
