Voice Changes and Chemo

 

We have something in common! Chemo enlarged my Thyroid also and I had a thyroidectomy several months after treatment. My symptoms were slow showing up but I was eventually dx with hashimoto's and graves disease. I was in constant pain (which had been misdiagnosed as neuropathy secondary to chemo ), and I lost 87 pounds in seven weeks!! How's that for a weight lose plan!! It was the worst! I looked like Karen Carpenter!! After the thyroidectomy, I gained some of the weight back and I look like a human being again. Just trying to keep from gaining too much! (any advice on that note would be welcome ). None the worse for wear....... except my voice, which was damaged by the surgery, now sounds exactly like Abe Bagoda is whispering in your ear. They gave it a chance to self resolve but no bananas. They hope to fix it in two weeks with..... ofcourse.......another surgery.
