I had apneumonectomy in November. My surgeon said he had to sacrifice my vocal cord. I was scheduled to get a surgical implant to fix my voice but it came back in its own After 5 months. Thank God. Living without a voice is hell. Maybe you’ll catch a break.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Did your surgeon tell you up front or after?
Was it as I describe? I can only whisper in measured words. But my throat is not sore. I am not talking much but it is not getting better.
Living without a voice can be a real handicap. I am happy you got yours back. Is it normal?
