Gordon, I met a few people in California a couple weeks ago. They were all from the webwhispers website. Very nice group of people who all had cancer that changed their ability to speak. One woman used a microphone type thing on her throat to allow her to talk. The one man had a trach where he pushed on it to speak. Another man had a permanent trach that was put in under his skin. Im not quite sure how it worked but you couldnt tell he had any problem at all. So you see there is a positive life to be led after this procedure. If this procedure will save your life then it is worth doing. I wish you the best of luck with everything you are facing.



Barbara, nice to hear from you. I wish you well. Please dont be a stranger. I miss seeing your posts.
