Hi is there anyone on this forum who like me as had a total laryngectomy?I had it done last year after first having half my left lung removed with cancer I have nodules in my right lung which they are monitoring I'm scanned every 6 months for that.I have a speaking valve fitted but it leaks intermittently but my consultant says if its not causing problems leave well alone its ok him saying that he doesn't have to thicken all his drinks which causes my secretions to be thick so I have to keep sectioning and it tastes horrible.
