The pain of not knowing was, for me almost unbearable. I'm dealing with a recurrance that will involve eventual removal of my larynx-but it's SO MUCH better to know what I'm dealing with. Congrats that you can go about your business of life without the "sword of Damocles" hanging ever so precipitously above.
Thank God and the folks here that are ready, willing,able to help in very real ways.
