yippee. I went to my ENT yesterday and had the scope, and he said my larynx looked better than it has in months, AND my hoarseness just went away. He explained that the after treament issues are different now that the rad is so much stonger and focused. He said there is less recurrance, but more side effects, well you can guess which one I'd rather have, bring it on! I feel a huge wieght has been lifted. I was seriously scared!@ It kept me in low funtion no planning mode. Thanks for all the info and commaraderie here. If you are hoarse this will hopefully ease your mind a bit. judy
