@tiatia11, after many false diagnoses (even after a CT scan and many scopes) the third-opinion ENT found the tumor on the Pyriform Sinus. In 2018 I underwent 35 radiation treatments. I opted out of Chemo as the Oncologist admitted it would increase tumor-cancer eradication by about 1%. It took a good year, but finally got my voice back, with the ability to eat and drink again. Before you do the radiation, check out "Red-Light" therapy (RLT). I waved that wand around my throat area every day before the radiation treatments...Did it work? I believe it did. There are many effects from the radiation which RLT helped alleviate. I am curious, did you have a difficult journey getting this diagnosis? You are in my thoughts.
