I'm on 5FU / Oxaliplatin / Avastin for my CRC. I notice that a few
hours after chemo begins, my voice becomes much hoarser almost to the
point of losing it. Anybody else have this symptom? Thanks.

Oxaliplatin in my previous fortnightly sessions had same effect. Felt
like you were about to lose your voice. In fact, for a few days I
would lose it for short periods if I talked too long. Also had
difficulty swallowing and talking - my tongue wouldn't listen to
orders ;-)
