[quote=Eileen]I had a total laryngectomy and a neck dissection in 2001 and no radiation because I had already had it in 1997 and thus far have not had a reoccurrence (fingers still crossed). If she has no symptoms, take a deep breath and wait for the results. Here's hoping for the best.

Take care,

Eileen, if you don't mind me asking, why did they do a total laryngectomy when your cancer was only stage 1? Just curious...my mother refused to get the procedure so they took 3/4 of her larynx even though she was stage 4. Of course, her margins are really close to the tumour. We'll see what happens.
