Hi EJB,
I am also a total laryngectomy with a ATOS TEP prothesis. My cancer on the larynx was a tiny tumor on the edge of the esaphageal opening so they could not remove it with a laser. Since I had already had XRT 4 years prior, I could not have more rx so surgery was my only option.

I too have been experiencing some symptoms recently, like voice change, that bother me but drs think nothing is wrong. What symptoms did your husband have? Is this cancer of the esaphagus that they think he has? What type of radiation did he have 9 years ago? XRT or IMRT? Do they really think the rads caused it. I am having so many CT scans I am afraid they will cause cancer.

Keep us posted as to what the tests show and I hope all goes well.

Take care,
Eileen

PS. I'm curious. I'm a beach freak and have been told to stay out of the ocean. Have snuck in to my waist in FL. Does you husband get in the ocean at all? It can be pretty rough here in NJ but I would like to try whne it is not.
