Speaking is difficult because of radiation treatment over 20 years ago

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I have gone through speech therapy and still use some of the techniques but the increased fibrosis is hindering even those techniques. I think a step for me at this time is to have another appointment with my ENT to see if there is anything in the area that looks more abnormal than it should. Thanks again and take care.

@omaest my husband was losing his voice 16 years after radiation. His surgeon did a laryngeal shot in his to close the opening he had. One side is paralyzed so the shot plumps up the other side to help closer. His voice is totally back. Swallowing is better but not fixed. It supose to last 2-4 months then you do it again or have the permanent operation called a throplasty ,
