I just recently had a scare with a precancerous tumor on my vocal cord. I'm wondering if the odds /statistics for a recurrence is the same as if the tumor would have been full blown cancer? (if that makes sense?) I guess cancer is cancer... but I'm just wondering. :-/

Thanks Cheryl. I have a follow up appointment in 6 weeks to be scoped. I will be sure to keep a close eye on it.
