Hello again,

I am 6 mos post radiation/chemo treatment. I lost my voice toward the end of treatment and it didn't come back for almost 2 months after that. My voice has become stronger and clearer, but it is still not "my" voice. Has anyone else had this happen to them. My speech therapist said it is because the vocal chords were shortened during radiation, but doesn't say if this is a permenent condition.
