Sabine said the experience had been a shock and had left her feeling quite lonely.
“Your voice is a really key point of who you are, whether you are an MP or not,” she said.
“When I came back to work in September I really wanted to hide, I did not want to speak in the chamber with my voice, because it actually, at that point, when you stood up to speak, you weren’t really sure what was going to come out.”
She added: “But over that summer, I had heard from so many people because I’d done various radio and TV about it, and people had emailed me.
“I can’t now hide away, so I kind of felt inspired by them really to stand up in the chamber, which I did feel really embarrassed about. Even though no-one made me feel embarrassed, it felt extremely exposing.”
Sabine said she would be doing a campaign about getting more therapy for adults.
Her voice is now the closest since the surgery to how it was before.
“During recess, one morning I woke up and my voice was like it is now, and my family said ‘Your voice is stronger’,” she added.
“My friends would say I don’t sound quite like I used to, and I can feel that my voice is still really wobbly. But, broadly speaking, it’s back to where it should be.”
