Do I have cancer of the larynx?

Hi Mr Larynx

This week has been hard. I've had a contrast ct scan, bloods done, a mammogram and a pre op assessment. I'm now waiting for a date for biopsies of my throat and the neck lump and have the skin cancer clinic on Friday. It's the waiting that's hard I just want to get sorted before the wedding. Thanks for the reply x

hi Jen. it's all just a big wait when we have tests and x.rays.  when I have appointments I say to myself that if I get out in about three hours then that's not too bad. I always take a pen and paper and I write my own words down to nice songs that I know because it takes my mind off the waiting and any worry I might have. before I know it i,m in and out and it works for me, Jen. I've written a few songs over the last few years and I hope to raise some dosh for cancer research and the n.h.s when I feel ready to do that venture. l hope you have a great week Jen. keep in touch and let me know how you're getting on.  i know that it sounds crazy for me to sing without a voice but Jen I have the will and i have a way 

Hi. I don't know what they have found on the CT scan but my biopsies have moved forward. The ultrasound biopsy of the neck lump in on 5th August and the throat operation on the 9th. ENT have now phoned and said that before these I need to have a pet ct scan. Can anybody tell me if this means they have already found cancer on the original ct and are trying to stage it.? I feel very much in the dark at the moment. Thanks in advance. Jen. 

Hi Jen. Best ask your CNS why they need a PET. PETs are usually to see if there is anything suspicious anywhere else in the body ( normally the scan is from head to mid thigh) or to check treatment had been effective. 
As I said though the best answer will be from your team. Anybody here would be guessing. 
Nobody  can tell you have cancer for certain  till it’s biopsied. 
i didn’t have a scan till 16 weeks after treatment but others here did have a diagnostic PET.
