I noticed in your post that you had the Carotid Artery removed. This is what I'm afraid of with my mother since the cancer is also on my mothers carotid Artery. I've been reading up on that type of surgery and what could happen "Stroke,Heart Attack "scares the heck out of me .

We travel tomorrow to M D A. So I guess it's what ever the doctors say needs to be done .


Thanks
