Two years ago my mum was diagnosed with vocal cord cancer and had radiotherapy to get rid of it as it was thought better than laser surgery as the cancer was close to her windpipe. Two years down the line the cancer has returned and this time laser is the only option. The consultant has asked to take another biopsy to map out exactly where the cancer is.
He has offered to take away the voice box if it's not possible to remove the cancer but she is adamant she will not do that.
Has anyone had experience of life after removal of the voidebox as it all seems very scary at the moment.
