Radiation therapy on vocal cords

by ron4152, Mar 03, 2008 11:46AM
Had successful radiation therapy on vocal cords. Finished in late August. Still hoarse and it varies as the day goes on. Doctor says it could take a year to really heal so that I know my voice quality.
Wondered if anyone had radiation on vocal cords and can give me some advice or recommendation of something that might help relieve some of the hoarseness. I was told to try speech therapy but it may be to soon. A small bit of alcohol, wine, mouthwash, etc. seems to help.
Thanks
