Hi- I think I posted in the wrong area before-sorry, still new to this (even after 8 years!) Recent CT shows mass surrounding larynx and partially destroying hyoid bone. He wants to cut it-AND my larnyx-out, leaving me with a hole in my throat to breathe through (still don't understand why) and NO voicebox. I already speak with a barely understandable voice due to partial tongue removal last year, and it's truly been one of the most challenging experiences I've EVER dealt with. I can deal with dying-we all are going to someday, but to ot be able to communicate AT ALL absolutely TERRIFIES me. This is more (MUCH more) than I signed up for, folks!
ANY advice, experience, strength, and/or hope would be GREATLY appreciated and read with fervor.
