Laryngitis?: Although laryngitis or voice abuse at football games can lead to loss of voice, it would be best to get a referral to an ENT physician who can examine your vocal cords and tell your oncology/hematology physician. 2 months is too long. Could have vocal cord nodules or partial paralysis, even. Please do not ignore these symptoms.
