I had surgery and my thymus gland was removed it was not cancer. The scar looks like open heart surgery. that was 5years ago. I would love to drive a truck and be a team with my Husband. Thanks Joycelyn

Joyce I don't see how this would automatically stop you from driving if your not taking any meds that would impair you of if its not causing you any health problems.

If you can pass the DOT Physical I think you will be alright.

Good luck,
Hervy
