Removing voice box

Pros and cons on choosing to have voice box removed?

  • Hi Nanniedragon,

    Whether this surgery is the best option really depends on you and your doctor would be the best person to go through the pros and cons with. 

    I hope you can come to a decision that's right for you,

  • Hi Anastasia, Yes you can talk to doctor or surgeon ...but they have not had the preceedure so we wauld like to hear from people who have and what they think as they have gone through it.j

    allan was diagnosed with larynx cancer last Feb 2018 and had 30 sessions of radio therapy and has received monthly check up since then.IIn January they decided to take him down for a routine biopsy and it came back positive the cancer is back or was masked  by the swells no from radio therapy and never completely went when they thought it had.He must now face having a full voice box removal but is really fighting with going through this surgery and that's why he wauld like to hear from anybody who has had the same  decision to make .   Hoping someone will be able to help x

                  Thanks in advance
