Hello all, I hope you are doing ok..
My partner is 8 months post chemo radiation for T3N0M0 Larynx SCC.
We returned home from a lovely holiday in Majorca last week but whilst we were away, his voice became quite raspy and still is. He is due a check up next week anyway and he had NED 7 weeks ago at his last check up.
Does anyone know if these voice changes could be due to air con etc, it’s starting to concern me a bit as it doesn’t seem to be getting much better with steaming and a humidifier.
Thank you
Lianne
Hi often dry hot weather can affect our voices along with flying. Keep him well hydrated tea coffee snd alcohol dries us out and you are doing the right thing seeing his consultant we are always told they would sooner see us than not. I’m 7 years post and on way to Spain where I know August temperatures will dry me out if I don’t drink enough water.
let us know what they say.
hugs

Dry air certainly can but it needs checking.
My first husband had radiation for laryngeal cancer and developed a hoarse voice again six months later. The cancer had come back. I’m not saying this is the case with your husband but it can’t be ignored. At least you don’t have long to wait for it to be checked.

Hello, I just wanted to send an update, my partner had his 8 week check up today and all is good. Think it may be silent reflux causing the huskiness. Thank you for all of your help.

Excellent. An explanation for symptoms that are not cancer.
I know how hard that is. I’ve been there but so pleased for your news. Thanks for letting us know.
How are you in yourself Sunshine38 ?

Hello, thank you Dani. I am ok thank you.. Been pretty stressed for the past 3 weeks, since we have been back from Majorca. I feel so relieved now, however I think I’m coming down with a cold, not feeling great myself now. Typical.
