Hoarse voice during FLOT treatment

Hi ..My husband didn’t experience any spasms but he certainly had a hoarse and changeable voice during and after his chemo treatments ..No one really explained why it happened but as his oncologist showed no concern we just accepted it as one small side effect… It rectified itself a couple of weeks after his last cycle ..Hope your Dad is coping ok ..Regards J 

Hi, my husband also experienced hoarsenss and did have a spasm when taking water (which wasn't that cold).  Recommend lots of hot drinks and the hoarseness will improve before the next cycle.  Hot food and drinks are the way to prevent the spasms - we kept a flask of hot water beside the bed at night, in case he got thirsty, as it was summer and hot outside.  Even things like fruit had to be taken out of the fridge for hours before he could eat them.  If a spasm occurs, encourage your dad to breath through it (its easy to panic) and sip a hot drink asap after the spasm.  Prevention is better than having one though!  The kettle will be on a lot!  Hope your dad is Ok.

Thanks for the tips! Yes dad is having to drink warm water. He hasn't had one of these spasms, (and hope he doesn't!) I was just worried the hoarseness was related to it. Appreciate your advice, thank you x
