No, lifelong nonsmoker with a healthy lifestyle (glass a wine with dinner, lots of vegs, little beef, get my checkup, mammogram, colonosopy). The local ENT told me I shouldn't have this cancer, I am not a candidate.

The primary is on the aryiglottic fold in the supraglottic area of the larynx. The doc thinks it's likely a HPV positive tumor. I hope it is since he told me those have a better chance of survival.

Thanks for responding.


Non smoker, healthy 59 year old woman with newly discovered suspected T2 Supraglottic tumor with imaging showing bilateral lymph node involvemnet. Transoral surgery scheduled March 18th.
