voice loss months after treatment

Two plus years after chemoradiotherapy ...My voice can be a bit strained but has never disappeared, perhaps let your CNS know ASAP?

hi i have let them know ive had a c t scan and awaiting results it just went and never come back

Mine comes and goes but never totally disappears.  I often think I'm speaking normally only to be told I'm very quiet.  Not sure what is causing it. I just have to watch the reactions of those I'm speaking to and take a swig of water and hope my volume returns.

hi all iam wondering if anyone on here has sufferd with a loss of voice

Hi Donna, I used to get really husky but it never completely went. At least you've had your CT. It might simply be fibrosis where the RT hit your larynx. Fingers crossed it's something simple and temporary. 

Hi dpanky, I lost my voice 3 weeks into my treatment, it just totally went, it came back after about 10 weeks, although I could only speak a few sentences at first, it took a few more weeks before it was back to normal. It's good they are looking into it, hopefully they can put your mind at rest soon.

when doc scoped me he could not see any signs of anything apart from damage from radiotherapy so hoping the scan says the same, iam so scared incase its back but having no voice is so frustrating its really getting me down now tbh x

When it comes back clear get yourself referred, insist, to SLT straightaway. The sooner you get help in fixing this the better. Hugs 

thats good to hear i had no probs like this during treatment and its just a year since i finished treatment and now having problems the waiting on these scan results is awful lol 

Hi Donna,

Long time since we messaged! I very occasionally get a reduced voice but at my check ups they just say it's scar tissue ,swelling and inflammation from RT that's causing it ,I'm sure you'll get the ok , you may have over worked your voice a tad. I still get soreness and pain from the simplest of things but come on here for reassurance. Enjoy being away

i have seen salt and got exercises to do but they seem to be making it worse and i have to nebulise 2 times a day as iam now producing thick mucus its not coming fast like it did during treatment but hits the back of the throat so thick i choke so the nebs are helping with this. x
