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.

I had a laryngectomy March 2000. Unfortunately your normal voice will have to go, but there are alternatives. I speak through a valve implant in my throat and surprisingly I still have my accent. DO NOT GIVE UP. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with COPD. 1 year ago after getting the COVID booster jab I was hit with shingles, I'm an ex-British Army paratrooper, so these items were a nuisance for me. Go at it my friend. I am soon to be 79 and I won't give up. Good luck.
