Vaping after Treatment

Do you feel you need to 

Hi John.It is very common to be anxious and depressed after a cancer diagnosis and treatment and something many of us have struggled with.  I don't know anything about vaping but perhaps you could address your anxiety and depression in another way that may be healthier for your body. Macmillan has a support line and can provide counseling. Info is at the top of this page. I found talking really helped me when I was going through an anxious and depressed stage. Many people have also found that a short course of antidepressants have helped. Go to your G.P. and he can help with this. 

Sending you positive thoughts

Hi spencer

yes I feel it calms me but I have cut down

Thank you

Hi

I would think that vaping would irritate an already inflamed mouth and throat.... ask oncology team for guidance?

Hi I would imagine vaping won’t help your side  effects  from treatment. Maybe a call to gp for a mild anti depressant could help. Speak with yiu cancer nurse as well am sure they’ll have come across this with others.

How are you feeling in yourself

I was same

Ex smoker here too.
There are American research papers to suggest that not only the nicotine but also the propellants in e cigarettes can cause DNA damage in the cells of mouth throat and lungs though the risk is less than with tobacco. Me? I wouldn’t risk it. The risks of radiation alone in causing more cancer is enough to live with.
