Finding voice
This narrative essay explores the experience of a cancer survivor confronting progressive voice loss after head and neck cancer treatment. Through his evolving relationship with speech, identity, and connection, both patient and psychologist reflect on the meaning and presence of voice, spoken and otherwise, as a tool for healing, expression, and connection.
