Cricoid (laryngeal) Chondrosarcoma: Anyone else?

Hi Jane!
I was diagnosed in 2014 and was also referred for a total laryngectomy, at which point I got a second opinion at Mayo. My surgeon( who has retired) followed a conservative approach: I had two debulkimg procedures and then in 2017 a more extensive procedure to remove the tumor. I am doing well and have functioning voice, breathing and swallowing. No recurrence to date. I imagine that there are even better options today!
I would encourage you to get a second opinion.
All the best to you!

Deborah,
Thank you so much for your reply and advice. I’m so glad to hear that you are doing well, this is very encouraging news to hear. Yes, I do think I want to pursue a second opinion about my case. I really appreciate the opportunity to hear about your experience with this rare type of cancer/tumor.
All the best to you,
Jane
