Debi Lyn, a cancer survivor from northern B.C., shares with you her experience of being a smoker and going through surgery. She encourages you to use your surgery date as a motivation to quit smoking before surgery. Stopping smoking eight weeks before surgery reduces the risk of complications, lowers the chance of infection and shortens hospital stays.
