摘要

The author presents his personal experiences as a physician who had several surgical procedures to remove pyriform sinus squamous cell carcinoma, which included laryngectomy. He recently published a book that captures the three years of his life that followed his throat cancer diagnosis and tells his story of facing and dealing with medical and surgical treatments and adjusting to life afterwards. The editorial highlights some of the book's features that relate to the important role of head and neck surgeons in the care of patients with cancer.
