I haven’t commented for a while but I wanted to update everyone after almost 4 years in a trachea- no voice for 3 years - remission for 3.5 years from stage 4 laryngeal cancer with radiation and chemo therapy. I am free of the trachea- I am able to talk normal again - I am able to eat normally again. It’s been a miracle- I found the right Drs and they do this all day everyday. I was at the point of giving in to a laryngectomy- I was in pain unable to sleep - unable to talk living in isolation from friends and family but I wanted another opinion. I went to NYU Langone Otolaryngology Assoc - cancer center then worked with the Speach center. I started with Dr Jacobson who referred me to Dr Amin who specializes in Vocal Cords - my first surgery I had 3 surgeons but it works - I had Dr Jacobson - Dr Cosby - Dr Amin - it went on from there - that first surgery was to see what was possible that was in Feb and now in September it looks like I have made it through and it’s a miracle.
