Throat cancer survivor remained positive throughout his treatment
health June 13th. 2022, 10:22pmDamion Smith is known for his deep, resonant voice. So when he lost is voice in June 2016, he decided to visit his doctor and he was diagnosed with laryngitis. But the medications didn’t work, and his voice was getting worse, so he went to an ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT). He found a growth on Damion’s left vocal cord and took a biopsy. The biopsy revealed cancer and Damion was referred to MD Anderson where he was diagnosed with throat cancer – specifically, primary squamous cell carcinoma of glottis.
After seven chemotherapy cycles and 35 days of radiation, Damion credits his doctors, nurses and staff for getting him through this tough journey, but also credits keeping a positive attitude.
