I just finished getting through it. December 20 was my last radiation. The week before, I’d finished my chemo and for months and months I was on radiation and chemo as it attacked my throat,” he said.

There were times in the months that I was undergoing the treatments that the body gives up. And I didn’t want to take my food through my stomach. They wanted to put tubes in and feed me nutrients because I couldn’t swallow. They had to get 2,500 calories into my body every day. That was ridiculous. That was so hard,” he added.

Olmos added that he had to see five doctors for intense treatment, and they told him that they do not “know what you’re gonna sound like.”
