Right now I'm being treated for some type of bronchitis/laryngitis --- a side effect of the radiation. I've been fighting this for almost 6 weeks now. I've been on 2 antibiotics, a fungicide and may have to go on another.*
Gee, my oncologists are soooooo adamant that the drugs they're pushing [chemo and radiation] are so safe. My radiation oncologist even showed me a picture showing where the radiation went and where the voice box is, and assured me there was no way radiation was getting to the voice box. I asked my ENT [ear, nose & throat] doctor if my oncologist is aware of this and he gave me a big "oh yeh."
A woman in my lymphedema support group got Bell's Palsy as a side effect of radiation therapy...
The upside is that I've been assured this will not last forever and that I will sing once again.
