Cancer of the vocal cords

Hi. I’ll tag Hazel. Some time after she finished RT something was found on one of her vocal cords but it was benign.

Hi 

around 2.5 years post chemo radiotherapy I went for my 6 monthly check. The ent consultant did the endoscope and seemed to me taking a bit longer than usual . We were due ti travel ti Spain a few days later. She looked quite serious and says u can see something in your vocal cord. We looked together at it as the hospital had just taken delivery id a new endoscope with video. Yes on the food if my vocal cord was what she says was a small benign cyst. 

we jointly took decision to leave it until next scope I had no issues no hoarseness sore thrust or voice changes. I’m quite lucky I don’t stesss or worry. We game away and when we returned I was slotted in for another scope the cyst was still there hadn’t caused me any issues so we decided to leave it where it was. I’m now almost 7 years and on my last scope 2 years ago it was still there. So all I can say is tryst the team if they want to biopsy so he if. 
my cancer was tonsil cancer. 

My husband was T3 N0M0 offered 7 weeks (daily) RT due to aged 71 chemo not offered.  He coped with RT very well I think they told us at the time RT was the only treatment and only once.   We have thought of so many questions since we arrived home, being on the 2 week cancer pathway does that mean they will try and arrange the tests in 2 weeks

Hi yes we can have radiotherapy usually omit once in the same area. It’s not unusual for chemo not to he offered. I had lymph nodes affected hence the chemo. 

usually the 2 week cancer pathway does mesnb2 weeks but if course Easter could cause a delay. He should have a cancer nurse maybe give her or him a call? They may be able to help as well

Being as he had RT January - March 2023 and it’s looking like he now has it again near original area I can’t help wondering what they can offer him

If it’s a return of the cancer surgery will be the only option. Fingers crossed it’s clear 

Hi it would be surgery. Fingers x it’s residual damage from radiotherapy.. it’s back to the waiting try to keep busy easy to say not so easy to do. 
hugs 

Hazel
