So was just diagnosed with a tumor in my throat

Idk what to do. Life just became worse for me. I started having throat problems about 2 months ago and ended up losing my voice several times. I finally got checked and was diagnosed with a tumor in my larynx. Idk where to even start. Do I just give up? Idk. have been crying all day but I guess there is no use in shedding anymore tears. so much for working on an album this year. I honestly thought this was gonna be my year. God I feel so stupid for trying to be positive and telling myself that things were somehow gonna magically get better.

Are you eligible for Medicaid?

@alainc2490 are they gonna extract the tumor surgically

alainc2490 · 31-35, M

@BlueVeins yes but they said because of the growth. There might be a 50/50 chance I might lose my voice.

@alainc2490 That sounds really upsetting. Are they confident you'll survive, at least?

alainc2490 · 31-35, M

@BlueVeins honestly I got hysterical. So they dint want to tell me more. They asked if I had anyone I could call and I told them I dint because its basically the truth.

@alainc2490 To be honest, losing your voice sounds like getting off easy with cancer, even though it'd still be life-changing. When is the surgery?

@alainc2490 Well, they scheduled things nice and fast for you. I think you're in good hands at least. 💗
