Hi,

Good day! I just finished 20 rad and 2 chemo (cisplatin) sessions. This morning when I woke up I could speak audibly. However, after I threw up (yes, the nausea/vomit is terrible), I found that I abruptly lost my voice. I can only whisper. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions greatly welcome.

The good news is I have 15 more rad sessions and 1 more chemo to go. Cannot wait to get it over with. Everything seems so different with the dry mouth, mouth sores, swallow difficulty, and now a lost voice. But I am sure, that there is light at the end of the tunnel....

Thanks for listening and offering any suggestions.

Best Regards,
Chetan
