as some of you know I have had no voice for over 3 months....After seeing GP last week I was referred urgently to ENT, I am pleased to say the public system can go fast at times, I have an appointment for Thursday....Fingers crossed please that it's just polyps on my larynx and not a tumour!

Sorry player....They put a tube with a camera up my nose and down my throat....Was hard for him to see anything as vocals cords severely inflammed...He did see that below them was burnt so presumes I have silent reflux and gave me meds for that...I was advised to cut back/give up smoking, take the meds and I have to go back next month for another camera....
