I don't have tumors in my throat, I don't think anyway, but my voice is hoarse and like many of us, have trouble swollowing...the reason for my difficulty and voice is because of vocal cord paralysis...there is a procedure you can have to bulk uo ocal cords, but I said, no thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hi Jeff... Jeff, I got your email. You replied to my message and cc'd bjfinch@.... My home email address is bjfinch@.... I have a question for Crewbies about voice hoarseness. About 3 weeks ago, my voice changed. Brad said it sounded like I have sinus drainage, but I really haven't had excessive drainage. I'm wondering if its a tumor thing. I have an intramedullary tumor that has caused slight difficult swallowing and some pain I had back in July. Have any of you ever had your voice suddenly change due to a tumor? na na na, I tried emailing you privately, but my message was returned. Do you have a new addy?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 na I have the same tumor you have in your throat. My voice has become very scratchy and goes hoarse if I talk too much. Thank goodness I'm not my wife, cause she talks none stop. lol. Wait a minute maybe I found a way to get some peace and quite. hmm. (Better not think such thoughts so close to Christmas!) Back to business. I've also had trouble swallowing and I need to make sure I cut my food up in smaller pieces. No more in hailing my food like I use to. I have no doubt it effects all this stuff. Have a good day na, make sure you turn your head lights on when going home tonight. Later, JD in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Its ok, Lois... I'm pretty sure a tumor is causing it.. I have a tumor and syrinx in my c-spine and a recurrent acoustic neuroma. I just don't know which one is causing the problem right now (or if its a different one. na Re: na & Voice Change na , Ok sorry I assumed you had tumors also , Mike gets horse and his voice is so low when he talks a lot and he has to be careful about how he eats too ...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Lois, I've never heard of a tumor lying across your chest before, let alone it causing throat, swallowing, and hoarseness problems. But believe me, I'm not an expert. Boy that's be a new one on me. JD in, supper time, AZ Re: na & Voice Change Caren, hummmmm Interesting Mike was told that his vocal cords are being paralyzed by A large tumor lying across the chest ... I do not think these Dr's in stown know what they are talking about though that's why I strive to ask ALL the questions... so I can keep on top of every thing. thanks for writing me ...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 JD, I did not explain very well, there are tumors in Mikes throat close to the esophagus ( spelling) which cause his hoarseness and choking also there is a large tumor in his chest right in front which they said puts pressure on the vocal cords and make his voice sound so raspy ? I don't know it did not sound right to me either although I did see the tumor on the x ray should I say the shadow of a tumor ... this is why I say how do we know we can trust our Drs yes if there is one that had done surgery before and did well but some of it are big big decisions .. huh ?
