I'm also in the fight against larynx cancer my friend. Sept. 1st will be 1 year since treatment. I have a scope with my ENT on the 18th so I have some trepidation. I had the same number and kind of rads that you did except my ENT decided to be very aggressive and I had chemo as well. I hope it made a difference.

My heart goes out to you regarding your voice. It has been one of my major concerns as well. Before cancer I was an award winning singer, having a 5 octave range. Then I started to lose it slowly over time, in a way that was insidiously ignorable until all I had left was a gravely speaking voice. Unfortunately being the kind of person I am, as I lost ability to do one thing, I seamlessly transferred my focus into a different talent. Because I sounded like Wolfman Jack, I got into talk radio. So when you mention your career being voice dependent I know exactly how you feel. It's a really big deal for us. Really big.

But I want to also share with you my realization that I am awesome enough to do other things and that my identity doesn't resolve around my voice. So if I have to lose my voice, I will do it and refuse to be afraid because I am more than a stream of sound and everything else about me is worth fighting for.

So I hope that you fight and know that I am fighting with you. Right here, right beside you. Shield up, sword in hand. And by the grace of God and the will to live, we will carry on and do great things.
