Yes, I had a recurrence with a vengence. They didn't have to take my voice box, but I went in to 2nd surgery knowing that I might lose it. Just want you to know that everything I went through, and the challenges I continue to face, have all been so very worth it.
I'm 2 years post and still improving. I know how scared you are, but try to take it one step at a time. It's amazing how well we can adjust and adapt to our new lives, and be very grateful for the chance.
My very best hopes for you,
Lani
