Saw my Oncologist yesterday. We discussed my continued hoarseness and he said that it was not unusual at 12 months out from treatment to be having this situation.
He has scheduled me for a return visit in 4 months.
I continue to see my ENT doctor avery couple of months and get scoped every time.
My throat is very sensitive to foods that are coarse or spicy or even mildly seasoned. I am able to eat more of a variety of foods but have a sore throat afterwards. I no longer eat ice cream but do have servings of Jello which feels nice and cold to my throat. Still can't eat meat.
Have been experiencing some bad days where I feel sad. Not sure I want to call it depression. It usually lasts only a few days at a time and then I force myself to get dressed and get out of the house. I'm bored most of the time. No company. Very lonely.
