Hi Holly,

I would be the last to defend HMO's.......
I would be the last to defend the Tobacco people....
I think they will both ultimately get what is coming to them....

I have never smoked a day in my life...
at the age of 29 I nearly died from an aggressive squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, jaw, and lymph,
My Doctor's described it as a NASTY TUMOR which reoccurred times 2.

I am profoundly scarred and disfigured,
I have speech problems,
I have swallowing problems.
My life is more complete and gratifying
than it ever was before my challenges....

In retrospect, there are many people i could have sued.
There are many people i could have hated.
there are many people i could have blamed and gone after.
What good would that have done me.

I could blame second hand smoke.
I could blame so many different possible causes it
would make your head spin......

SO WHAT....

Would i have my problems today if i had never breathed
second hand smoke.....I do believe that is true...

Would someone else ever have the same problem as me...
probably not in 100 years...

Do i blame you and all the smokers of the world....
absolutely not...

have a good day, my friend....
