Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | My voice is fairly normal now although my singing range is a little lower than it was. The RO told me that the rad wasn't near my vocal cords so that wasn't a factor. Other singers have told me that a lot of vomiting can burn the vocal cords and I did a lot of that. I actually polished my teeth like glass. I am working on getting my vocal range back.
I completely lost my voice for a little while post Tx. Dry mouth doesn't help either.
