Hi. My biopsy has diagnosed squamous cell moderately differentiated laryngeal cancer. I am scheduled for a needle biopsy and a full body PET scan next week. Has anyone else had the same? Thanks

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that you have recently been diagnosed with laryngeal cancer and I know what a difficult time this might be for you.

    I don't have the experience you're looking for but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier to spot.

    You might also want to join and post in the main head and neck cancer group as it's busier than this one. If this is something that you'd like to do, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
