totally possible. I lost my voice for close to 3 months due to GERD that started after being on a ventilator for 3 days. One day I woke up and my voice was back at full strength.

I suffered a stroke 8 yrs ago and spent 5 yrs in speech therapy. I sounded like I had a real bad cold when I talked. Before my stroke I sang professionally. I tried and tried different breathing and vocal exercises after to regain my voice but I couldn’t seem to shake sounding like my nose was always plugged. So my therapist sent me to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist who examined my cords for any paralysis. Luckily I have none but they found my cords were being burnt by the acid from my stomach. I now take Prevacid. I sound normal now and with better breathing hope to sing as well as I did before. As long as you don’t have any permanent damage to your cords you should be fine as long as you take your medication. Good luck.

My voice recovered but my term b4 treatment was considerably shorter than yours. (2 years) With that much time involved the scarring on your vocal cords my be permanent.
