Hi @phinken Paulette, I'm grateful that your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect was to offer support to a fellow traveler. You're so right that it is good that @msherfinski's team found the anomaly and now something can be done. It's so easy to panic when you only have the report and not yet a consult with the specialists.
Paulette, can you share a bit more about your laryngectomy? How did you prepare? What is/was the recovery and rehab like?

Thank you Colleen Young. Mine was discovered late and was very complicated. It was June 2019.. I don't think it would be helpful to share in this group. Thank you

Hi, Msherfinski here.. Just talked to another ENT and was told the doctors at Froedert would probably scope me on my 1st visit, which has already been done by a good doctor yesterday and then do a biopsy. The problem is that if the tumors are cancerous, they would want to remove the voice box right then, otherwise I risk swelling and would need a trach to breathe. This is being thrown at me all at once and I just don't know what to do. Please help!!!
