Yes I lost my voice for about two weeks right near the 6th week of Radiation after having sailed through the first five. As to your newest question: HOPE is fine and fixed dates are a good goal. It "sounds" realistic but you may need longer to recover if your reality is like the posts in the Medications, Procedures, Treatments forum under the thread: Working Thru Radiation. Go for it, it's less than two weeks away.
