gaye Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi All I have NSCLC not SCLC seen surgion on Wed, but my voice had gone so I had to have Bronchoscopy on Friday to see why . My left vocal cord is paralysed so now they will not opperate. I am to have a new CT Scan on Monday this thing must be growing at a fast rate to now be pressing on my vocal cord. It is so frusterating not being able to talk. Thanks for reply's on my last post. I am not very good on the computer hard to teach old dogs new tricks. See you soon.

jaminkw Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 So sorry about the voice. Many of us would just hate it if we couldn't talk. But you can "talk" here and you are doing just fine on the computer. Bronchoscopy on Friday and CT on Monday--we'll be waiting and watching for results.

Alan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi Gaye, I don't know if my case and yours are in any way the same but I lost my voice in the beginning too. The scans showed that the tumor was invading my spine. The nerves that come out of the T1 vertebrae actually control the voicebox and some other areas. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my vocal cords at all. Once the tumor shrunk, my voice came back 100%. I hope they find out that they can help you. A bronchoscopy should reveal alot of info for them. Good luck and let us know what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joppette Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi Gaye, Wishing you the best with all of the tests. Try not to worry. It could be a multitude of things affecting your voice. But just in case, I'll worry for you, K? Please come back and let us know what is going on! Judy in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric byrne Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Gaye, Sorry about being a bit late welcoming you,I am sorry to hear about your dx,I know from my experience of this time on my cancer journey everything takes some getting used to,appointments,tests/scans, reports, treatment plans etc,all having the effect of increasing anxiety levels. I found on discovering this site, I was given so much support,I began to relax a bit and realise after a while, things were never as bad as they first seemed,in fact, for all my dark imaginings nothing ever came close to reality.I wish you well for your scan today,may the report be better than you expected. I am sure being here, you will find your burdens lightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just noticed Gaye has not posted since her original post. Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. Post an update when you can. Judy in KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieRSA Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I read this because of the subject / topic : stress can make things worse. I hope you're doing way better now. Please do update us so we know? My mom is a stressball of note! And I'm sure a lot of her healing depends on her stopping the stress. But it seems like the most impossible task sometimes. Are all women like this? Or is it just me getting it all wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
