Hi Angela . My husband ( sorry not a lady ) has cancer of the Larynx . He like you lost his voice for 8 weeks that was his only symptom . Over on the boards Radiotherapy for throat cancer there are a couple of really jlovely  ladies who ave gone through it . My husband was told time after time he had laryngitis fed up with this he went for a private ENT. Honestly that part is fine they numb your throat and put a tiny camera down your nose and into your throat. The specialist saw something on his left voice box  and booked him in the next week for a biopsy, I think he knew when he did the surgery that this wasn’t just a polyp. A week later he had the phone call telling him it was for sure cancer ... everything was then handed over to the NHS and he started treatment within two weeks . His cancer was caught really early thanks to his lost voice these cancers usually are as there is such prominent symptoms . Obviously yours may well not be cancer .... I really hope not . It’s not a common place to have cancer at all Angela . 

BUT these cancers have an excellent cure rate. Sounds like you are going to whizz through all the scans etc, etc so that at least is good news. Keep in touch and if you need us we are over on the radiotherapy for throat cancer board... you will find loads of friends there with lots of help and advice & as I said Hazel is fabulous she really helps out and also has a blog of her cancer journey. Crossing everything for you . 

Love Ginny x PS keep of Google out of date and will scare you to death. X x

Hey Ginpo 

Thank you for your response.

I'm sorry to hear of your husbands cancer and I hope he is doing well. It seems I'm going down the same route as himself at the moment.

I'm very hopeful mine isn't cancer . But obviously I cant unrule it at the moment.  I had the same with dr saying laryngitis at the beginning now he has out ruled it which is so frustrating as you know your own body and wish tests had been done earlier.

I'm pleased I had an xray as I proberly wouldn't off even been seen so quick so I'm hopeful to get to the bottom off it. By any chance does your husband have his voice back as I'm finding that part so difficult. 

You know you can talk but just cant get it out.

Woken up this morning to no voice again every day I wake up hoping it will come back ! .

Ent and endoscopy is on Saturday so will keep everyone updated. 

Thank you so much for your response and I wish your husband all the best and hope he feels better soon.
