Welcome, @rbitcher. I'm inviting other members who have experience with laryngeal cancer or similar head and neck cancer like @mindyt @srm @loli @jeffk @alpaca @duckdogg1943 @suz22 @thomason to share their experiences with you. You might also be interested in this related discussion:

Let me me see if I understand your question correctly. You're interested in knowing how many people have had radiation first to treat laryngeal cancer and if they've had a laryngectomy and tracheostomy afterwards, correct?

Are you currently undergoing radiation treatment?

Yes I'm sechuled to have a laryngectomy I just wanted to know I'm I making the right choice, it's a big step from what I here.Just want some insight on it

No; but the surgical ENT wants to try radiotherapy alone first. I want to avoid tracheostomy and laryngectomy. Wondering how many people don’t need it after radiotherapy alone.
