Hello, and thanks for your post.

I‘m sorry to learn that your uncle’s cancer has returned.

Hoarseness can be caused by various factors including laryngitis, cold virus, aging, chronic acid reflux, cysts on vocal cords, or cancer spreading to the larynx (voice box).

In your uncle’s case, it is most probably the cancer or the treatment he may be having which is causing his hoarse voice. His specialist team is better placed to advise him further on this.

I hope this is of some help. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Tina

Cancer Information Nurse
