Jeff totally lost his voice about 5 weeks in or so. He had to take a break from radiation to let his mouth and neck heal up a bit. 5 or 6 days without rads and his voice made a reappearance. He resumed radiation on Monday, but is still talking (voice is rough, but it'll come after treatment is finished.) We were encouraged by how quickly he felt an improvement during his break (chemo was also suspended due to poor blood counts,) so hang in there. It will get better!
