I had my Stress Test yesterday to check the strength of my heart. I'm cleared. The Nurse that did the test is a 6 yr survivor of OC. She had her surgery at Ohio State 6 yrs ago by Dr Shuler who is the main man at the University Cancer Unit. She never had rads or chemo, just part of hr tongue removed. She has no scaring or spech problems. She had a neck dissection and has no saliva or speech problems. As for the scar it's almost invisible. My surgeon appt went great too. No Cancer just scar tissue. He told me that if anyone could go thru the anneurysm surgery a 2nd time it was me. I wish I was as tough as people think. LOL. Really I might be a wimp. Have a great day all.
