I went over a year problems ear pain, sore throat, feeling of food stuck throat, choking on tiny bits of food.
My GP practice kept telling me it was probably viral, then gave me ear drops for ear pain oral solution tongue claiming I had oral thrush.
I had enough one day in March and demanded a locum gp refer me to maxillofacial for a check up as a few years back I had a 20x20cm benign tumour in submandibular gland so gland was removed with tumour in 2019.
Maxillofacial saw me quite quickly, referred me to ENT head and neck where performed nasendoscopy didn't look right he said I had a small swell left vocal cord..operation and biopsy
3rd July op biopsies SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF VOCAL CORD DIAGNOSED.
6TH August operation transoral something laser to cut burn away cancer..
I had infection another nasendoscopy 3 weeks after cancer removed and told its over granulation more than expected and was white I think so another operation and more biopsies!!!
17th Sept I am due to have more biopsies and he is going to have a good look he says. My gut is telling me I may need a bit more treatment.
Do you have any advice????
