That's really a shame that they took that attitude with you. Part of my treatment planning was how to get the most successful treatment and STILL have most of my old life back (including quality of life). We discussed this at length. I am also a musician, play bass, sing lead and b/u vox as well. I am playing a gig tonight, courtesy of my medical team, and did 5 services for Christmas at my church as well. My voice is about 1/2 octave lower than it used to be. Don't give up hope...
