"It pays to get a second opinion. Loyola Hospital called today and said the tumor on my vocal cord is malignant. I have two choices, radiation or surgery. Radiation is 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Surgery is one operation. Meeting tomorrow with the radiologist for consultation. Leaning towards surgery"!
