I sorry to hear your news Kendall. We've never met, so I've felt a bit - not knowing quite what to say - but - if the power of love and friendship means anything at all, then you certainly have it coming towards you in great truckloads, from all the people on here who do know you - and I'll send mine along too, if you don't mind...

Well geeziz Kendall.....I haven't been in much this past week and missed this entirely and I gotta' tell ya', it really bites the big one. I'm trying to think of something light to say but you make it pretty damn hard......I mean coming up with something light to say is the hard thing..... not pretty damn hard as in Viagra........well, you know what I mean.

Lessee here........uh......oh, I got one! A couple of Rabbis are touring a sausage factory and the one notices that.............wait a minute, that one's not all that funny because they end up with trichinosis. Oh, I know! How about the one about the guy with only one ball but he has three scrotums? ....................aw hell, everyone knows that one. .............well crapperdoodles Batman!   I'm drawing a blank here.

While I think about it, you concentrate on doing the best for yourself because we all love you...........uh, that's another one I don't mean in the Viagra sense........but uh, well...you know what I mean.......I hope..............

Kendall, Frank and I are so sorry to hear your biopsy results. It's a tough choice, but I personally would go for the most aggressive removal of the cancer. You've had a raspy voice since I first met you several years ago, and it's part of your charm now. You (and we) have the recordings to remember your beautiful voice. Most of us never had a beautiful voice to begin with! And now you've got a new path opening up for you with your wedding to a wonderful lady (I'm told by you, and I hear on the Mudcat). With or without a voice, we're happy to have you around, so keep on doing what you have to and keep on being around.

Kendall, it may not be much consolation to you, right now, but for a long time the only voice of yours many of us knew were your written words, right here on the Mudcat. You will ALWAYS have a voice, regardless of any physical changes. Now that I have head you on CD, your actual spoken voice is indelibly "inked" in my brain. It is so distinctive and easy to conjure up because of its quality, it will never be silent regardless of any physical changes. Just wanted you to know that.

Remember, too, all of the Mudcat love, good thoughts, Light, etc. that have come your way and helped along. They are still there for you to tap into. As much as you can, use your power of visualisation and *see* the best possible outcome...second opinions are always good in such cases!

We are here for you and jacqui,

Definitely time to consult the specialists for a 2nd opinion. Is it worth going down to John Hopkins again to talk to the people you dealt with last time? I'm sure we could come up with a driver and some hospitality along the way to cushion the trip.

Anyway, I worked for a guy once who had had his larynx removed, and he communicated very effectively with one of those gadgets that looks like a large mic. He couldn't raise his voice to yell at me, but it sent tone of voice quite well.

I got the results yesterday, and it is not good. The cancer is back. Next step is a C.A.T. scan to see if it has spread. If it has, all bets are off. If not, I have to choose among three options:
1 Total removal of voice box. No voice at all.
2 Partial removal. That would mean being left with a raspy voice.
2 Removal of just the cancer by laser or scalpel. That would mean a raspy voice and the chance of the cancer coming back.
Life sucks sometimes.
