I'm not certain I understand your post. What treatment are they now going to do this time? Are you having surgery or radiation? Is it possible for them to rmeove the tumor with laser surgery? I had a total laryngectomy and outside of having a hole in my neck and not being able to swim or sing, my quality of life is just fine. So if it comes to that, it is not the 'end of the world'.
Take care,
Eileen
