Hello Suzydecoy
I'm sorry to hear that a recent examination has revealed a growth on your vocal cord. It's understandable that you're feeling scared by this news and the potential implications of what it may be.
Do you have a date for your scan and biopsy? Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for the tests and results and the information that the team have will mean they can give you some answers and reassurance.
We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be really difficult. It can sometimes help to talk with someone about how you're feeling. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Keep in touch Suzydecoy and let us know how you get on. We're here for you.
Best wishes,

Hi thank you so much for your reply had a CT scan today having MRI next Tuesday and biopsy on 11th. I’m also awaiting results of a scan of my kidneys as during a CT scan after falling down the stairs they had an incidental finding of a lesion on one of my adrenal glands hoping it’s not connected but no results for that yet and it was over 6 weeks ago.
it’s good to know you are there for me to offload
thanks again xx
