How Jay got his voice back after cancer

A hobby and vocation. But a diagnosis of an aggressive throat cancer changed everything. His doctor broke the news.

Mayo Clinic surgeon Dr. Eric Moore removed the tumor from deep in Jay's throat.

But because Jay's cancer was aggressive, he also endured 4 infusions of chemotherapy and radiation. Jay received 30 radiation treatments to target the tumor. Five days a week for six weeks. But afterward, scar tissue, which is a possible side effect of radiation, formed. His voice faded.

Jay's story doesn't end there. After adjusting to life with a weakened voice, Jay met Mayo Clinic surgeon Dr. Semirra Bayan.

Results of the procedure vary from patient to patient, but Jay's voice is once again strong.
