Hey Eric,
Welcome! My hubby had tongue cancer, surgery, neck tumor, surgery, 8 weeks chemo/rad. It was a tough go, but better now. He, too, is in sales and drama director at our church and in local plays, and needs his voice pretty bad. He lost his voice totally for about 6 weeks. Now he speaks pretty clearly and it gets better every week. We are just praying that they got the cancer. He still uses his PEG tube, but just this week has been able to get some pudding, a little pasta, etc. down. He is 2 months post treatment.
My prayers are with you.
Debbie
