RENDEZ-VOUS 75
Wednesday, August 9 2000
Nota: I met with Jim Martin, Throat Cancer survivor, volunteer public speaker with SAVE Survivors Empowerment Program, North Carolina Gasp, Wilmington ,
during the 11th world conference on
Tobacco or Health in Chicago. A slightly different version of this
interview was published in the daily journal of the conference (in the
August 9th issue).
Thank you Jim for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?
Two years ago, in April 1998 I had my larynx box taken out. After the surgery I felt lonely, depressed, rejected. My wife shook me up : I learned how to speak with my stomach.
