Large Thyroid Tumor Caused Months of Voice Loss; Voice Returned After Two Weeks and the Lump Disappeared After One Year Without Surgery
Mr. Yunanto noticed a lump in his thyroid in late 2019. In early 2020, it grew rapidly, reaching about 5 cm in the left thyroid and pushing his trachea to the right. His voice became increasingly faint until he could not speak. The lump was not biopsied, so whether it was malignant or benign remained uncertain, despite his doctors’ concerns.
His doctors recommended surgery but warned that his voice might never return because the mass was so close to his vocal cords. While considering those risks, he began using ECCT and kept a detailed daily record of his condition. He reported that his voice began returning after 15 days of use spread over three weeks and gradually normalized over the next few months.
He reported that the neck lump gradually shrank, becoming barely visible after twelve months and no longer visible or palpable after fifteen months. Years later, he described himself as active and in normal health.
