It is after a year I finished my radiation and chemotherapy. Still I am very frustrated because ulcers on my tongue are still with me and sometimes, you never know when it occurs, when you swallow, you feel discomfort. Same applies to my voice. Even though my oncologist reassured to me that my vocal cords haven't been damaged by the treatment, for most of the time my voice is raspy and I can never shout any more. Would like someone tell me if conditions above will get better or worse or simply stay put? Thanks.
