Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 45 | It's been exactly a year since I had 32 treatments TOMO radiation to kill cancer of the Larynx. I was doing great and voice came back about 60% of what it was which was certainly acceptable.The last month I was getting hoarse and kinda new the polyp was returning,We did a dive trip to Fiji mid May and I was thinking this could be my last dive ever.
My ENT during my 6 month check-up said if the polyp came back it would probably be cancer.
Well, its back.
I am preparing myself for the worse.Is it possible to radiate the same area? I did not have any chemo the first time.
Because of 16 surgeries to remove previous polyps my vocal cord has severe scarring and webbing.
I'm scared and hope this is not the event that takes my Vocal cord for good.
Thanks for all your input and help during my past rad treatment
