The doctor got all of mine but 2%. This 2% were on the ligaments and he said if he removed it I might have never been able to speak above a whisper. The radiation is to get that percentage with no change in the voice.
Have you spoken with you surgeon? I know I would. Michael you have seen you say 40 doctors? I would be afraid of so many conflicting results. I hope you will start treatment soon and not wait any longer than is necessary for your healths sake.
Blessings to you,
