Frank`s docs told him the same thing about smoking and drinking,they didn`t think either had caused the cancer, the tumor was deep under his tongue, in fact it took more than one biopsy to find it.And one note I have to add about Wellbutrin, my son`s doc put him on it, never suggesting any other methods, and he nearly landed in the hospital with side effects...You are right about the comfort issue.....I think alot of here are in the oral fixation stage, which personally, I prefer to anal retentive, that`s why I think so many of us are so verbal......God knows, when Frank could talk, he never shut up, and we all know I can`t keep my mouth shut...........Hugs, Dee
