Hello Brent, donna, deb and michelle, and any others....... Brent,I read in your email that you are trying to sue the tobacco industry? Do you live in the US? I saw you had written "mum" which to me says you are not. There has been a long acting class action suit against the tobacco companies here for many years. My dad was a heavy smoker for the majority of his life. He did quit more than ten years ago but they say even fifteen years beyond quitting your risk of lung cancer is still very high. My dad's last days were awful for him, I did however get to tell him things, that I have said in the past, but wanted him to know more than ever. The scary thing was that his voice was so empty, it was so sad. I wasn't at his bedside when he died, but being a nurse, I've seen his suffering before in patients, and that picture, of what he had to endure before he passed, is what I can't get out of my mind. You are so very powerless to help, I would've done anything to spare him any agony that he went through, and it was quick compared to some, but for him, it was an eternity. Keep me posted on how you all are doing. Jen |
