Hi snoopy, my voice has been hoarse now since beginning of January, hopefully as chemo kicks in and tumour shrinks his voice will come back. Depending on how much I've spoken in a day I range from micky mouse to Barry White.... Hope chemo is gentle on him. You remember and take time to look after you as well! Xx
I lost my voice last year for a couple of weeks, then it came back. I lost my voice again about fifteen weeks ago and specialist reckons won't come back again. Can only hope. Take care everyone, prayers for us all.
A hoarse voice is quite common, I developed this and was told that if it didn't clear up it could be possible to have a simple procedure in which some substance (sorry, can't remember the name of it) is injected into the vocal cords to try to sort it out. The same also happened to a friend in the same circumstances as your husband.
I suggest you discuss with your husband's consultant during the next visit.
Hi snoopy i had to reply to you as my hubby has exact same thing lung to liver spread si stage 4 and we are waiting to hear now whether they will want to do more targeted radiotherapy or chemo... i hope yours copes well with his chemo and his voice returns to normal quickly...you must feel just like i do ..sort of in a bad dream which is never ending.
Sending you both hugs and do keep in touch through this forum.
I started getting a hoarse voice before my treatment. Once the chemoradiotherapy was done it improved again and I sound 'normal' again.
I think you will have to see what his plan for treatment will be and once he starts it, it may then improve. I am not sure if there is anything specific he can do himself, but speak to his team and maybe they can suggest something.
