Vocal Voices

a very heavy cold and cough during which my voice had progressively got weaker and squeekier,I had an appointment at local med centre where I was checked and told that chest was clear.
Couldn't understand the problem with my voice which has got a lot better the cold and cough gradually cleared.

However the lady I saw said " how long have you had that ? " and pointed to the side of my neck, I had never noticed anything.

So off she went to duty Dr and came back with ,we are sending you to Q.A .hosp ENT dept for them to have a look.

I couldn't help wondering if the Cancer I had on a vocal chords in 2003 had returned.

Well off I went today and after having the camera and light up my nose and down to my throat for a check of my vocal chords- all ok thankfully-, but the guy I was seeing couldnt really understand about the side of my neck so now I have to wait for an ultrascan.

But just to finish my tale ,my God seeing the inside of my throat / vocal chords on the screen ! It was like there was an Alien living in my throat ,never seen anything like it!

Rather you than me, Vic.

Hope the ultrascan goes OK ....

Hope it goes well Vic.

Best of luck with it, Vic.

I had a few endoscopies years back with the view on screen, won't say where, but certainly not my vocal chords, and the aliens sure are in there!

Frank I had a gastroscopy just before the first lockdown - there was a huge screen to look at, but as I had stupidly elected to have the procedure without sedation I was too busy trying not to choke, and didn't look

I hope all will be well Vic x

Thanks guys for your good wishes.

I looked because I was curious

Hope all is well Vic x

I always looked when I had a colonoscopy, it was fascinating. Until they started to cut off the polyps

Vic, not to worry you but please ask the GP to give your heart a check over as well? An ex- colleague of mine a few years back had an ongoing cough that he couldn't shake and his voice changed as well - turns out (if I understood it right) calcification in his arteries meant pressure on the vocal cord that usually wouldn't be there; he ended up having heart surgery.

So as said - don't want to worry you but definitely something to bear in mind, have checked out and hopefully rule out x

Best of luck Vic. Last time we had to go through this wait it was just glandular. Hoping all is well for you.

Thanks guys
