Hi,
Basically I am echoing others' thoughts: make sure you are getting other opinions besides the one. If you are at a large center, the surgeon should present this to the department in some way & the radiologist & others will have their own ideas. Then they present it to you as to what needs to be done. I would want someone who had performed surgery on a lot of laryneges! (had to look up the plural of larynx) Your medical care is everything here. And you have most of the control in that area. Glad you caught it early, that is always good. There are people on this board who can write in about larynx surgery.
Best,
Anne
