Waiting for biopsy results on vocal cords

So I had my surgery to remove the lesions from my vocal cords 2 weeks ago. I've still not had results back. My consultant did say there could be delays ect on how quick they come back. I phoned today and they said they are still being tested.

How long did anyone wait for results come back?

I've had the good news after surgery that if it is then I will only need a few rounds of radiotherapy as it would be very early on possible stage 0/1 But I'm still trying to keep positive that it will be all clear.

My voice still isn't great after surgery and I bring up quite a lot of bloody mucus which I suppose is normal. Has anyone else experienced this after surgery ?

My concern is the pain in my right hand side throat is bad and was wondering do I go to gp about it or is it just the pain from the incisions made via the lazer used.?

Thank you for reading

    my husband had his cancer on the vocal chords. He was told it was cancer within one week & then waited a further week for staging etc. He was stage 1 with no spread and had 33 fractions ( days) or radiotherapy. That ended 3 weeks ago and he is just starting to feel some what normal. After his initial surgery not later just had the lump cut out his voice returned within a few days & his throat was sore. 

    I hope this information helps. X x  

  • Sorry where is says not later that should read Lazer. He opted for radiotherapy over later as he wanted to preserve his voice . X
