I don't suffer from HA but suffice it to say, having had two heart attacks, bypass surgery and stents and most recently oral cancer, there are times I get a little stressed when it comes time for tests and follow-ups.
The fact of the matter is I have a 50/50 chance of making the next 5 years due to recurrence of the cancer and who knows when my heart will say "enough"?
BUT... despite these things, I truly don't worry about it. Having faced death, it's not so bad and we're all going to end up there anyway ;)
SO..... yesterday was check up time with my ENT/surgeon. I had some butterflies as you might expect. I'm 5 months post treatment and the first two years are critical. If I can get through them without any recurrence, then the odds drastically improve.
The doctor saw nothing that raised any red flags. Everything looked great and I'm ahead of the curve concerning recovery!! AWESOME NEWS!
Those of you that suffer from HA, take the words in my signature to heart. Life is too short not to live!
