Bravo Mike - and congratulations on stopping smoking too.

I also do not believe that the doctor can look at you and say "this caused your cancer". If they could, I would presume that after reading my first pathology report that states that they found no cancer anywhere but the tissue from the floor of my mouth that was removed I would not have a recurrence because I would know what caused it and would not do that anymore.

There is a lot of cancer out there and a lot of risk factors too. The area that I lived in in the west was known for nuclear fallout from testing a long time ago. There had even been payments made under class action suits. I had a well on my property - did I get cancer from the ground water?? Something that we are doing is creating more cancer in the world. Something that is different from the old ways. Maybe it is food additives, chemicals, second hand smoke, genetic engineering, who knows?

This man does sound terribly angry and certainly needs someone to be responsible for his cancer.

I prefer to be responsible for my future.
