I finished rad 12/17/09. The rads went to my lymph nodes by the collar bone/neck, not under the arm.

I'm finding now, after treatment, that if I stay up too late (or have a few drinks) I start to lose my voice the next day.

The crease of where my shoulder and neck connects has that brown patch scar from the radiation so I know the left side of my neck got it.

Did anyone else experience a weakness to the voice box after rads to the top/side neck area?

    No weakness but i suddenly lost my voice /horse (sp?) for 10-14 days, within 2 weeks of ending treatment . No fever, had a slight cough but my thoat and chest felt fine. none of the doctors thought it odd, how werid is that
