I don't know if anyone still reads this or not. I just discovered this today. I had Stage 2 cancer of the voice box. I was talking right after my radiation treatments, but now all I can do is whisper. It has been 5 months. My voice box keep swelling up and the doctors don't have an answer. I forgot to add that I smoke. They tell me to rest my voice and not even whisper, but it is hard. Will I ever get my voice back? Anyone know what would help? I have 5 year old twin grandsons, that I am dying to read a book to and cannot. Please help, I just want to talk.
