Vocal cord cancer

Mum-42
Offline

I’ve recently been told I have vocal cord cancer in my left vocal cord. I’ve been for surgery today and they have lasered it away along with healthy tissue to be tested. I was told it was T1 type (caught very early) doctor said. Bug now I’m home I feel relief the surgery is done but I’m now worrying like mad over secondary cancers. I have read this is normal but I’m struggling emotionally. Any help would be appreciated.

Does secondary cancers happen a lot. Thanks for all replies
