It took four years before I could actually sing again. I was just starting to enjoy being able to sing to the radio on my drives back and forth to the beach, when I got cancer the second time around, this time in the larynx. I will never sing again and cannot even listen to Christmas carols it breaks my heart so.
So take it easy. It does come back. Think of all the people on this board that are in bands and are able to sing again. Guess it depends on how much rads we had to the voice box.
