Comments: I just found out that my father is going to have to have surgery to remove cancer in his throat. I went to the web because I feel that the more I know the better I can handle it. I have to tell you that when I went to you site and it blasted me with the mechanical voice that might soon be my father's it devastated me. I really believe that it should be an option, a link, to hear such. I was not ready to be hit with such reality. Please consider that many people who are looking to your site are doing so fresh with the news of this horrible future and don't need that slap across the face.

Comments: Hello, I coordinate the Jackson Tobacco Reduction Coalition in Jackson, Michigan. I would like to praise you for your webpage. It has wonderful resources to use. I hope to be able to open it when i am out at schools presenting information on tobacco cessation and secondhand smoke.
I have one question. When i was listening to the forum with the High School Students, you stated that secondhand smoke has 2 - 3 thousand chemicals in it of which around 60 are carcinogenic. All the information i have read indicates it is around 4,000 chemicals. What is your source of information on the lower number. We lose credibility when those in the prevention field are not saying the same thing. I just want my facts to be as accurate as possible. Again thank you for a wonderful website and a great resource.

Comments: I had a fESS five days ago as a last resort to 6year chronic ear clogging and post-nasal drip. My ENT said that mine was one of the worse CT scans that he has seen in 20 years. I have the ESS booklet but your site gave me so much more info. I am glad I found this site AFTER my surgery. The videos might have deterred me from having the surgery. BTW, my ears are feeling better already.

I am an audiologist from your past. I worked with you when you were at UT. Hopefully, you will remember me (smile). You always thought I should get my doctorate. I just wanted you to know that I now have it. I graduated this past May from Central Michigan University. I thought you might get a kick out of that.

I hope things are going well for you and your family. Nice website. Take care!

Fannie
