Living cells linked to cancer.
In 1990 my father had his first surgery for cancer of the esophagus which they said was surely caused from smoking.
Then in 1996 he had another surgery, because it was recurring. This time the same doctor said views had changed, and they thought the type of cancer may have been caused by alcohol consumption.
The physician was a top notch guy, recognized as among the best in the area.
Just saying. The second surgery left him still in terminal condition, and he died in days from infection within the hospital.
We missed out on possibly a few extra months. His drink of choice was Vodka-Orange juice, which he had for years during the so called cocktail hours of 5 - 9 pm.
He also smoked for many years. He died a week short of 70.
uh oh...
