I had lingual tonsil cancer 2006 with chemo and radiation treatment. all went well until two years ago. Started to have issues swallowing and noticed aspirating food into lungs causing pneumonia. Finally after one year i have been referred to Emory Voice center Dr T. Hopeful of direction so can get on with life!
Thanks for reading

lilyann here. i too have been referred to emory voice after my 2 thyroid surgeries. thing is: i have been told that my loss of voice is permanent. i do have trouble swallowing and have been told by the ENT, that my epiglottis is not flat covering over the vocal chords and i am at rish of getting food into my lungs.....what little i eat. please keep in touch on how things work out for you at emory. it is a very, long way for us to travel to downtown atlanta and with the traffic, so scary. wish you the best. take care.
