My mother-in-law has emphysema most likely as result of living with my father-in-law who smoked for many years. I hate to throw gasoline on the fire here, but, who knows how much or in what ways years of concentrated passive tobacco smoke exposure compromises a person's long term health. Maybe, it is the culprit or an accessory to the crime in more diseases than we are aware.
I am thankful to Brian Hill for founding the Oral Cancer Foundation. His position is not merely an occupation but a vocation and a passion. While no one wants their calling to a vocation to be born of cancer, Brian's came in that way. He took one of the biggest negatives anyone could have been given, and not only survived but turned it into perhaps the biggest positive anyone could hope to achieve. To be that strong, that altruistic, and that dedicated to a cause is a priceless gift to countless people who have turned to the OCF for support. It is a life-defining work. It is an example to which many other people and organizations would do well to aspire.
Malin, I have read your profile. Your life has been touched by oral cancer. I am so sorry. I am thinking it is the basis of your passion and the driving force behind your educational pursuits? Welcome to this community. Sending positive thoughts to you and the one who you care about regarding tongue cancer.
Sandy
