He lost it about last March & it was the symptom that suggested he had Lung Cancer
The appear to have 'cured' the cancer & he had a procedure yesterday which has given him much more of a voice than he has had in over a year
He had a tiny hoarse whisper now he has a hoarse normal level voice
This is good 
My Pops is nearly back to normal - his hair is growing in (much darker than it was before) & a side effect of this procedure is that his windpipe is straighter so he can breath more easily too
Did I mention this was a good thing?
