PROBLEM: IN JANUARY 2021 I LOST MY ABILITY TO SPEAK PROPERLY AND MY VOICE BECAME A WHISPER.
April 30, 2021 WENT TO AN ENT SPECIALIST SCOPE TEST DONE TOLD I HAD POSTNASAL DRIP AND TO TAKE NASOCORT….AND THAT I DID NOT HAVE CANCER OR GROWTHS ON MY VOCAL CORDS.
THROUGH OUT SPRING AND SUMMER MY VOICE BECAME WORSE.
I REALIZED IN FALL ( OCTOBER 2021) THAT I NEEDED A SECOND OPINION.
MY APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED ON DECEMBER 1, 2021 AT UCLA.
AFER THE SAME TEST I RECEIVED WITH THE ORIGINAL ENT….I WAS INFORMED OF A MASSIVE GROWTH ON MY LEFT VOCAL CORD WHICH AFTER THE BIOPSY WAS LABLED AS STAGE 3 THROAT CANCER.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR…HOWEVER, I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS FROM THE FIRST OF 2021 UNTIL WHEN I WAS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED IN DEC OF 2021.
I FEEL AND BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL ENT (EARS, NOSE, & THROAT DOCTOR) MISDIAGNOSED ME ON APRIL 30, 2021 I AM SURE A VERIFIED MEDICAL SPECIALIST WOULD AGREE THAT YOU DON’T JUST GO INTO STAGE 3 CANCER THAT QUICKLY.,
