Need more details especially when you have the biopsy results. As we say "it's not cancer until it's been confirmed by a path report." But I will go out on a limb with what little info you have and tell you that even if it's confirmed BOT SCC AND you undergo the typical treatment there is a great chance that you will be cured and it won't affect your voice at all. So let's calm down and wait until we see what this mass really is. Let us know as soon as you get the path results.
