Gretchen, I think it's common to lose a lot of one's voice during RT. I did pretty much completely for a good 2 months. Of course my tumors were in my lymph nodes, not my voice box. Perhaps someone else who's directly experienced can offer their opinion.

Please give my cousin your best - great of you to help out by coming here!
