How long after radiation did it take to get your voice back?

I am taking radiation treatments on my voice box for severe dysplasia. It is precancerous. I am on my 13th treatment and suffering from pain when eating. I no longer can eat solids. I am scared, angery and so sad. Any suggestions or encouragement would be appreciated.

@boo6 ease try to stay strong. I had 35 treatments of radiation in 2024 and chemo.
I did not eat side for almost 9 months. I did have smoothies.
After that I added porridge.
14 months since treatment I am now eating entirely of side. Still.have issues with crunchy or hard foods. I do quiches..and many soft foods.
It takes time to eat. I still need to chase everything with liquids as it gets stuck in my throat. There is a high risk of choking due to dry mouth and swallowing issues.
However looking back from.a year ago, I have improved a great deal. YOU WILL AS WELL. Please ket me know if you have any questions.
God Bless.
