Sam had laser surgery on his vocal cord and larynx done Friday (7/13/07) at Lourdes Hospital in Paducah. Dr. Kest said it was cancer and that he felt confident he removed all of cancerous tissue. Sam did come home today and seems to be doing OK. We don’t know any particulars of what the next steps may be and will find that out after they do the pathology on the tissue. Sam said he wanted to come out of this with a voice like Tom Brokaw, but sounded more like Henry Kissinger, so he still has some humor about all of this.
He had been having some problems earlier this year with getting hoarse and having some symptoms that would go along with a cold. Feeling like you had drainage and a scratchy throat. He had plaque scrapped from his vocal cords in mid January to correct this problem. A few weeks ago, the problem returned and Sam said he just thought it was a cold or possible the plaque had come back.
God has answered one prayer in healing Sam of this problem. Our next prayer request is that God will protect Sam through the follow up and give him his full voice and health back.
