But a radical neck disection surgery in 2001 nearly did me in. Afterward, I had panic attacks 24/7, only slept 2 hrs each night for 3 months, lost down to 100 lbs, shook constantly and uncontrolably and almost gave up completely. Had it not been for my 2 wonderful daughters...i might not have made it. My husband was fired and with that went our friends.

....I just read your new post, and it's very sad
indeed. Congratulations on your successful fight with cancer. I hope your doctor can keep you stable as time goes by.One thing that i am curious about is your panic attacks, which i guess you did not have before your neck surgery. Have you been told why those panic attacks started after? Do your drs. know why they started? I am guessing about the thyroid because i had panic attacks related to that and was very well adjusted with thyroid medication.
Best wishes for better times,
