Hello everyone,

I’ve had a feeling of something stuck in my throat for 2 months now. I had a scope done 2 weeks ago. The ENT consultant wrote saying “vocal cord leukoplakia.” I’m due for a biopsy in 2 weeks.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

  • Hi  welcome to our little Community

    You probably know already that Leukoplakia MAY lead to cancer so obviously they are checking for that. I have a friend who had the very same and he was treated with laser to remove it as it wasn't yet malignant.

    Fingers crossed for you too

  • Thanks for sharing. Fingers crossed Fingers crossed 

  • It's a worry, the not knowing and the waiting.  Fingers crossed all will be OK Fingers crossed  I had the same, a feeling of something in the throat, but also a hoarseness of the voice for some time, which I took no notice of as there was no pain, until a lymph node came up on my neck, which made me see a doctor. 

    I have had a tonsillectomy (as they did find cancer on my left tonsil) and they have seen something on my lymph node, so I am seeing about possible surgery for that tomorrow.  Hopefully, as you have only had the feeling of something in your throat and no other symptoms all will be well with you.

    Thinking of you and sending hugs.

  • I wish you all the best.  And I hope I get some peace of mind.  The term "worried sick ” has taken a totally new meaning :)

  • I'm thinking of you.
