WELCOME!
First of all let me welcome our new friends to Headcases. Fifteen of us gathered for the meeting, and since we hadn’t shared our stories for a while we had a quick round-the-table update mainly for the benefit of our new friends, some of whom have only just finished treatment.
It always amazes me how differently each person reacts to the various aspects of treatment for head and neck cancer. It’s also true to say that discovering the problem in the first place happens in many different ways.
LOTUS EATERS SHOW
We were hoping to decide on a day to go and see this show being put on by Restoke, to support our very own John, who plays a key role in the production. Unfortunately, after checking during the meeting, all dates are now sold out. This is great news for Restoke, but sadly not for us. We wish John all the best with it.
Examination Chair
Some of you will know that we have purchased an examination chair for the department at the Royal Stoke, together with a high intensity examination lamp. The chair has now been delivered to the Hospital, but due to the usual red tape it hasn’t made it to it’s final position yet. The lamp is still on order. I’ll post pictures as soon as possible, so we can all see where the funds went. You can be assured it will be put to good use.
EASTER RAFFLE
We decided to hold a raffle at the April meeting, due to take place on Wednesday 5th April. Please, please gather up some prizes and bring them along on the night to make this into a fun evening. We’ll probably hold the meeting in the larger room, so we can make use of the stage.
See you all then!
