hi Nicki,

it's good to hear that Tom has started treatments.

i had rad&chemo at the same time. after a couple of weeks i couldn't talk at all. so for 6 weeeks of treatment and 6 weeks after treatment, i wrote notes. the doc's told me not to talk or wisper. things slowly improved and my voice is essentially normal now... it took months.

different folks have different responses to various treatments, so please don't think that my case will be anything like your husbands. he may well be able to talk without problem.

best wishes to you both,
larryb
