I was hospitalized in Aust for a exaserbated asthma attack. I developed a mass in my larynx shortly after. I was diagnosed with the word cancer due to tumors growing on and around my laryxn. I went to three diferent places, Middlesex, Yale hospital whom almost every doctor(s) who told me I am going too die if I don't have chem, radiation, or a laryngectomy. I cried and fussed and prayed and then comes Dr. Fumo . He introduced me to Keytruda and in three weeks my voice was back, which was gone since August of 2023 to December 2023. I don't feel the lump in my neck and throat anymore, but haven't done a Pet-Scan or scans of any kind yet. I truly appreciate the time and personable attention and concern Dr. Fumo And His Fantastic Staff always displayed for my health and wellbeing.
