Measuring My Voice with Rust and Claude Code

Had so much fun last time reading my own CT scans with Claude Code that I’m doing it again. Different problem this time, same impulse.

One side effect of my cancer treatment: left vocal cord paralysis.

Radiation damaged the nerve, so the cord can’t close properly. Air leaks through and my voice sounds like I’m permanently getting over a bad cold. Great at parties.

It might recover. It might not. Nobody can tell me how fast, or how far.

People write about their aha moments with AI. The story where it clicked. The first time they thought, “This is going to change everything.”

This is mine.

I’m a cancer survivor. Stage IV lung cancer. Treatment worked. The tumors disappeared. All metastases resolved.

Now I do maintenance. Regular scans.

I had a CT scan done recently.

In Brazil, you get a written summary about four business days after a scan. Those reports are written for doctors, not patients, but you can get the gist by running them through ChatGPT or Claude.
