Last year 2020 in was diagnosed with Carcinoma-in-situ RH vocal cord, i was admited to hospital in December to have laser stripping of the vocal cord. 2 weeks later had a follow up appoinment with my consultant, i was informed that the operation did not remove all of the cancer and was offerd 3 choices, wait and go for regular 6 week check ups, have more surgey which would impact on voice loss, or go and have radio therapy. Worring myself sick as to what treatment i should go for. Trying to find some one who has had similar treatment.
