To make light of a serious condition like this is inexcusable. The rumors about throat cancer really bother me, not only because they are completely false, but also because it disregards the feelings of those people who actually have throat cancer. My good cholesterol is the highest this doctor has ever seen and my bad cholesterol is the lowest. In fact, my mom made me get a full exam when I hit 40 (no joke-I actually gave blood on my birthday) and the report I got back was that I am the picture of health.
However, I do not have cancer of any kind. After the two week rest period, who knows, I might even have a new sounding voice! The procedure is so easy, that I won't even spend the night in the hospital. She suggested I get the thing lobbed off and rest my voice for about two weeks while I am on holiday break this December (I admit, this will be the hardest part). Apparently I have a tiny little bump on my vocal chord that is completely benign, but when my throat becomes swollen, from too much talking etc., it rubs against the other side of my throat and aggravates the area. I finally found a brilliant throat specialist who discovered the real cause of my vocal problems. I have had a husky voice my entire life and I always thought it was from too much talking. I wanted to clear the air on all of the rumors and let you know the truth. As many of you have heard, I will be having throat surgery this December.
