Hi my name is Emily. I am 9 weeks post surgery. I was diagnosed with a left sided 6cm vagal paraganglioma originally thought to be a carotid body tumor. They were able to save my vagas nerve in the way that it was not severed but since they stripped the tumor off of it, at this point its shredded. My surgeon has high hopes i will regain use of my vocal cord at some point since theres a possibility of the nerve regenerating. In rhis video i am in the office to do a consult for a temporary vocal cord implant. I will also post the consult and actual procedure. If any one has questions please feel free to ask.
