That cancer and voice

Hi Kaye and welcome.  I only had surgery so can't really comment, but as nobody else has posted on your thread I thought I would to push it back up to the top and hopefully someone will see it soon.

Hi Kaye

where was your cancer mine was tonsillar butbstill classed as throat area.  my voice wasn’t really affected. I had 35 radiotherapy and 2 chemo. You should still be having regular check ups with ent consultants have yiu been scoped ?If you are concerned maybe a telephone call to them. Have you seen a speech therapist?

But my voice is very croaky at times.

Hi Kaye

RT can cause permanent damage so it might be a case of learning how to speak clearly again. Have a word with your CNS to see if you can get an appointment with your speech and language team to help you.

Hi Peter thanks for your reply. I didn't know that 

Hi Hazel cancer was on vocal chords. Had 20 radiotherapy. All gone and yes regular checks 3 monthly at moment.. All happy with my progress eventho I have told them my concerns 

1. Hi thanks for your reply. I have spoken to cns and everyone is happy with everything. I suppose I am worried because as the surgeon said it's early days. 

That’s good news. It’s probably the RT and improvement continues for a couple of years.
