Neha,

I did have speech problems that were quite noticeable for many months after treatment, due to swelling, dry mouth, and the effects of surgery. I think many of the people on this site have experienced this to varying degrees, and for varying lengths of time, depending on the specifics of their treatment programs.

I still think I have a slight speech impediment, mostly because part of my tongue is gone, and consonants like the letters t, k and x are especially problematic to say properly. My speech also becomes harder to understand if my mouth gets too dry, so I have to be conscious of that if I need to do much speaking (or singing) for an extended period of time.
