Yes, it's fixable. Since it is a monophonic recording, you can simply tell
the app to Copy the better side to the other side, overwriting the original
'other side'. The result will be a perfectly balanced monophonic recording
that can then be edited for other things.

This is quite a bit harder to do with a monophonic recording. Your best bet
would probably be to play around with the built in equalizer, trying to
boost or cut the frequencies that cover the vocal range. with a LOT of
practice and a little luck, you'll lern over time how to best control the EQ
for these things. For most Audio apps, including Audacity, there are
separate plug-ins that can help make the process easier. It may take a bit
of research for you to decide whether or not you wish to go that route.
