Hi, I hope I don't offend anyone with this question. Have you seen the latest stop smoking ad (horrible) linking colorectal cancer to smoking? I smoked for 50 years and was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2013. I had surgery in March of the following year and now have a permanent colostomy. The question is, did any of you smoke before colorectal cancer diagnosis? Did I do this to myself? I am well adjusted to the outcome but the question lingers.
