Hi all, my 51 year old brother in law has just been diagnosed with T3 throat cancer & has been given 2 options - 1) Radiotherapy 2) Op to remve his voicebox & have a permanent neck stoma.We don't have long to decide & their preference is surgery. But he is a cleaner in a factory & loves to sail & he may have to give both up. He needs to stop smoking & drinking which will be hard. He's young to have such a final choice which can really affect the rest of his life. Need to contact people who have had treatment/surgery to see what it really entails, the positives & negatives experienced. Thanks! All comments welcome - no need to sugar coat it, we need the truth & reality
