Fran,

Rod had 35 rad tx & 3 rounds of cisplatin. His voice was really raspy for about 5 months after tx actually. It got better as the months went by. He is 10 months out now & his voice sounds alot better. Not the same, but I think it has something to do with his dentures???I can't explain it.He had a beautiful singing voice and won alot of contests with it! That was really hard on him that he had to stop singing. The dry mouth doesn't help but maybe one day.... Anyway his voice did get better with time. It seemed like right after tx it was the worst, sounded like he always had to clear his throat but that could have been all the phlegm too. It takes time but I believe it will get better! Good luck & God bless!Maureen smile
