I wish the doctors would spell out for oral cancer patients that yes, it's perfectly normal for you to lose your voice for a couple of weeks after TX. Mine didn't, and I assume yours did not based on the post.

My experience was right in line with Christine and David except that my wife would not let me ring a bell or anything like that.
It was very very hard for me not to be able to talk at all and even more frustrating for my wife since I was constantly scribbling things I wanted to convey on phone calls. It took me a full month before I could actually speak in my new normal.
