<human>: obvious throwaway~

So I went to an ENT today because my voice has been really hoarse for over a year. Before you ask why I had waited that long, I'll just go out and say it: I didn't have health insurance. Turns out I have a growth on one of my vocal cords. I'm going to have surgery to in a couple of weeks to remove the growth and to find out what it is. My doctor thinks it's a benign growth, but he informed me that he has been surprised once before (meaning someone in my age group was  diagnosed with cancer). I'm 24, I don't smoke tobacco, occasionally smoke pot (probably once every few months, really), I don't really drink very often. Should I be worried?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: found out I have a growth on my vocal cords that needs to be removed through surgery. Don't know if it's cancerous or not yet. Shouldn't be. Just slightly worried, blah
