When the show was over, she started to tour and record more music. But when she noticed that her voice wasn't the same, she decided to see a doctor.
That's when she received the devastating news that one of her vocal cords was paralyzed.
Bianca's doctor told her that she needed surgery and that there was a chance she would never be able to sing again. The young talent was forced to put her musical career on hold and she felt like her fans started to forget about her. Bianca feared that all of her dreams were ending.
