Procedure or Surgery (had prosthesis implanted allowing me to talk): I'm not thrilled with the voice quality or the sensation of talking but can talk!

I received an email you wanted to correspond outside of ACS. I would be more comfortable doing this after you have shared more info here.

Oh No (Possible cancer in lung): While running non-cancer related tests at hospital they found 2 spots on my lung. PET scheduled for 9/18 moved up to 8/31 they strongly suspect cancer and I should expect more/stronger chemo.
It turns out to be lung cancer.
