Some concern....

I see a throat specialist on Monday afternoon about a possible tumor on my vocal chords.   I've been reduced to whispering all week and am pretty worn out by the effort to communicate.   It's probably just a nodule that can be easily removed with surgery. 


I am a bit concerned about it because I smoked for 27 years, although I quit 16+ years ago.  It would be a real kick in the butt if it were still affecting me so long afterwards!  If you are still smoking, consider quitting!


Your healing vibes and thoughts are appreciated.

Wow! I hope you will be better soon. I have asthma as well and so does my little girl. It is scary that the two can be confused. Have you ever been a singer? I've known many singers who developed vocal cord problems later on because they sang so much (chorus teachers primarily).
