Loss Of Voice

Hi, I have had 4 weeks of radiation for cancer to the vocal chord,
it has been a month now since my last rad. treatment and I am
feeling a lot better, my appetite has returned, I can eat most
things now, I am drinking better, but not as good as I hoped for,
swallowing is difficult, especially water, I am sleeping better, and
feeling fitter, my only problem is the voice, or lack of it, my voice
went months before I started radiation and has not returned yet,
although people tell me it is stronger, I can't see it myself, I just
wondered if anyone has gone through the same and how has it
affected their voice, how long did it take for your voice to return
to normal, if it ever does?

I am due to start Radiation treatments 7-18-07 I don't know what to expect. My Dr says that I have a 90% chance for cure. I would like to hear from anyone who has gone through this.

Hi I feel your pain on the voice. My has been bad for over a year. On Feb 18th I had a cancerous tumor taken off my vocal cord. My voice got so much better, but then I started radaiation and after 3 weeks of that it is almost gone. It is very frustrating, but they say it is normal.
