Has your voice affected your employment after treatment for Head and Neck Cancer?

We have been asked by Rachel Wilson who is a final year Speech & Language Therapy student at Royal Hospitals Trust/Liverpool University to help in her research project.

She looking at whether the employment of H&N Cancer patients has been affected by their voice quality post head and neck cancer treatment.  Anyone who currently has, or has had head and neck cancer previously, and was employed (including self-employed or part time employment) at the stage of diagnosis is welcomed to participate in this study.

The research aims to further understand people’s experiences after head and neck cancer treatment, to improve current understanding and inform Speech and Language Therapy practice.

February Meeting

We were very happy to welcome two new friends to our meeting yesterday evening. A total of 11 of us gathered for our first meeting of 2022 at the Royal British Legion Club in Meir. Fred outlined our cash position, and we made a contribution to the Legion towards the use of their facilities each month.

Congratulations to Fred and Rita on their Anniversary! Congratulations are also due to John, on reaching his milestone.

We had a quick update on the upcoming enhancements to the Royal Stoke Cancer Centre, thanks to a generous donation from the Denise Coates Foundation. If anyone would like to comment on the plans outlined, please send your thoughts to myself and they will reach the relevant people at the Hospital. I will ensure the comments will be anonymous.

Thanks to Rita and Lisa for bringing in some interesting crafts for us to check out.
