These are 2 links to videos addressing laryngeal cancer. I am feel very fortunate to say that this is my surgical oncologist. I hope this information is helpful to you and others. Dr. Deschler always says, first thing is to save your life, second is funtion, and third is cosmetics. Best of luck, Annie. Stick around these forums. We all help one another.
