So much has happend during the last couple of weeks/months that it's hard to NOT be optimistic. Sure, the operation might be unsuccessful and I might have to have it a few more times, but I've managed this far, so I'll probably manage twice as much more! During the last month I've found some friends that suffer from the same disease as me. We are all aware that this disease can be deadly and that people do die from it. However, we all hope for a cure, or at least a medication that can slow down the progress of the papilloma growth, so that those who catch this disease in the future may have higher hopes than me for not having to live with a tracheostomy tube. Together we can support each other and give each other positive energy so that those "worst case scenarios" will be less terrible and end up even hopeful. I urge you, those who don't know much about RRP (Recurrent Respiratory Papilloma), to read about it and about what type of treatments are available at the moment. These are my favorite sites:
