Hello. I'm not sure from your post if you have seen your ENT since returning from Fiji. Have you had a biopsy? Have you had a CT/MRI ? Or are you just preempting it all?
A reoccurrence is very scary, but if this is the case you will get through it.
Don't jump to conclusions. Wait until you have a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan if one is needed.
Should you need a laryngectomy, you will survive that too. We went through this surgery in March and should you have to go down that path we will be here for you.
