BoBennett Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Recently my voice has become raspy. Not constantly just every once in a while, no pain or other symptoms, nothing out of the norm to possibly have created it With the lymph nodes in my bronchial area affected I’m concerned this could be cancer connected. I know others who have cancer and their voices are raspy. Does the bronchial tubes affect the voice or is it the Esophagus Thanks Bo Quote
john Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 There is a nerve that sometimes gets affected by the cancer (recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy). It sometimes also gets affected during surgery. I think in most cases it is probably something else (infection, strained voice cords, etc). Tell your Dr about your concern. The article below (link) says if it lasts 2-3 weeks (along with other symptoms) I would tell your Dr. When oncdoc responds he can add/correct anything I have posted http://www.erlanger.org/e/winter_2003/h ... s_seri.asp Quote
