HI there... from another Canadian - I'm in toronto.

I know you are waiting for your CT... I know the I want to do something now feeling. If you have your appointment time call the CT department ask them if they can get you in sooner, or if you can be put on a waiting list. Often times they have unused spaces they hold back. Explain that you are nervous and want to do it asap. And give them your info. Also you don't have to wait a week for CT results the are usually available the next day. just so you know.

Educate yourself on your particular type of cancer. We have a great medical system up here but you do have to push to get things done (its easy for them to make you wait... ) so push... make the calls you have to to try and speed up the process. They'll probably want an MRI too. And a chest xray is good, but you should have a proper chest CT. that will tell them far more than an Xray. Good luck My cancer was of the tongue. so I'm not over familiar with the vocal cords but if you have any questions feel free to pm me as well. take care~
