I can't stop crying. I finally can talk again after radiation and I sound nothing like I did before radiation.
I think part of what is happening is that now I don't have all my focus on waiting to speak again everything else is catching up with me.
Anything will set me off. My brother was watching a DVD we watched together before this happened and I started crying. And I can't control it.
I'm just sick of being sad and REALLY sad and disapointed that my speech is worse now when it was the same after my operation.
I'm scared I'll never sound the same.
