I just posted a long reply which seems to have disappeared.
Do not IGNORE changes in voice. This was my only warning both times that I had cancer. The second time probably caused by radiation damage was not visible on normal scope because was hiding in fold in larynx. They had to put me under anesthia to find tumor.
I hope you are all OK, but do get it properly checked. Voice changes I one of the few symptoms that it is back.
Take care,
Eileen
