Thanks for replying. It's been a hard 4wks since finding out but I'm starting to understand abit about it now. I've only had laser surgery but need to go back in 8wks for another biopsy to see if it has all cleared up. How long ago did you go through this? Hope your well now. Be nice to hear more about yourself. Xx

Hey mum 42 . My husband has exactly the same thing cancer of the larynx , caught very early stage T1 without any spread . He was offered the Laser and more surgery route but opted for radiotherapy not because there is a chance with laser it could come back but because he was warned that laser could affect his voice unlike radiotherapy.  Radiotherapy is brutal he has to have 33 sessions over 6.5 weeks he is on no 22. I am really interested to know has laser caused problems with your voice. Obviously I hope not & hope you continue to do well.  Love Ginny x x 

Hi mum42

have accepted friend request 

it is a tough time going through any treatment 

I understand some of the treatments and effects it has 

I found the laser easier and seemed to recover quicker 

but he radiotherapy is harsh treatment lots of mucus dry mouth throat lips and eating problems also voice comes and goes gets very hoarse 

I always wish I had only had the laser and took my chances as right now it’s hard going 

keep us updated how ur biopsy goes fingers crossed all clear for u 

message anytime if u like a chat

Thanks for messaging me it's lovely to know other people's stories and what you have been through. I don't feel so alone now and starting to think more positive. I had the laser done 8 days ago and only just getting my voice back. My voice still sounds hoarse but I'm at the hospital tommorrow for speech therapy. But I feel fine in myself. They didn't give me a choice of treatment just said see you in 4 days for laser treatment. I didn't know what the choices were till I started looking more into it. Doctor said that the laser has good cure rates and didn't mention radiation. Hope your husband is feeling better soon. Xx

Thank you for replying and accepting the friend request. I felt so alone when I first found out but now I've found these posts I feel more at ease. I'm keeping everything crossed when I have my next biopsy in 8 weeks time. I would love to keep in touch and keep us informed on your road back to good health. Xx
