No matter how hard I have tried to put another health issue on the ‘back-burner’ and forget about it for awhile. I now have less than a week to prepare myself to make two visits to two different surgeons in one week. Less than three years ago, I was in this same situation so I took it in stride and had my entire thyroid gland removed because of carcinoma. As difficult as it was to face my illness, I was confident that this would be just a ‘one-time’ deal and I would rise up as a champion.

But today as I turn the calendar page to the month of May, reality has just slapped me in the face. In all honesty, I am becoming afraid and it is not a good feeling. The carcinoma has returned but this time it is in the throat region and I could lose my voice. I would be devastated if this happen.

Now that I have released what I have held bottled up inside, I am looking for some postive energy to flow in my direction. I just felt a tear roll down my cheek and I felt a slight tremor. Once again I will hold down my emotions and get through another day at work.

Thank you for giving me an outlet for my twinge of hidden pain that robs me of my energy and focus. — Bob
