Hey folks I sure do appreciate your responses. Don't worry about hijacking my post. I spend most of my time educating myself about this disease. In Situ, I had to hit the net and look that one up after the post op visit. Brian and all of you who took the time to share your experience and wisdom it is much appreciated.

Uptown kind of hit on my concerns. I had a bump come up in the hard pallet area. It is sore to the touch. ENT looked it over today and advised it was an infected salivary gland. Now I hit him up about all of these strippings. If there is regrowth after two more of these strippings then we do radiation. The first one was done March 2. There is a partial regrowth. Apparently this is the preferred method as the lesion was localized on the true left vocal cord. However Balancing Brian's comments and Uptown I believe I will seek a second opinion. It took me going through two local ENT for them to even find the lesion.( See my first post). I think I will contact a coworkers ENT and get his input. Thanks again everybody. Robert
