Hoarse Voice after Chemo

Hello,

I wonder if anybody else experienced problems with voice after chemo?
We're trying to single out what exactly causes it.
My wife had 2 rounds of chemo and every time on 2nd day she had her voice going bad. Mild cough and a little bit of fever as well, but these side effects are gone after 2nd day. Today is 4th day after chemo and she almost completely lost the voice. Symptoms don't look like a common cold or flu outside of the voice loss.

This is cisplatin/taxol/avastin/keytruda combo.
One of our doctor suspects it may be olanzapine which is she took before and after chemo but stopped taking it yesterday...

P.S. Blurry vision seems to be another repeating side effect.

Why BNT113 vaccine is currently not tested against Cervical Cancer?

I wonder if anybody has insides on this. Maybe somebody participated in clinical trials or spoke with researchers. It's very strange and disheartening. Why throat cancer got the priority over cervical cancer? Should not the community raise the voice and appeal to FDA and Biontech?
Meanwhile Chinese pharma announced that the similar drug LY01620 will be targeting CC type first. It's in Phase 1 though.
