Nicki, glad to hear Tom is doing so well. I lost my voice for about a month. Used a little etch-a-sketch-like board with a pen to write messages. Wasn't the same as talking, but had to keep what little voice I had for work as I was still working through most all of the treatments. It does come back, although I am still a little froggy in the morning. Just let Tom know that its nothing a bottle of water can't take care of.
