@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 ,

@janetlev did your husband have to go under Anesthesia or do they just numb the throat? Also, any chance your doctor is located in New Jersey?
