Our monthly meeting is for past and present patients,
carers and anyone else who is affected by Head & Neck
Cancer. They are held every second Wednesday of every
month from 7pm. Our aim is to give all those affected with
Head & Neck Cancer the chance to meet like-minded
people, chat about concerns or best practice in the dealing
of this cancer. You can listen to others who have been
through the journey or just find some comfort in knowing
that you’re not alone.
We would encourage Carers to attend these meetings as
we believe they also have their own concerns and need to
know how best to deal with the changes being placed on
them. So, by meeting other Carers we hope to be able to
offer them support and encouragement.
We sometimes have a speaker at the meetings, these
can range from Dietitians, Therapy & Mindfulness to local
businesses offering benefits to their services. Why not
come along to our next meeting and see what we’re all
about, we don’t pressure you to return, we have a policy
that we are there if you need us, wherever you need us!
‘At a particularly low ebb and with no idea what I
should do next I contacted Chris at Swallows who
kindly came the same day to offer support and advice
and then introduced me to the monthly meeting.
Knowledge does make a difference. Knowing some of
the things that are likely to happen, that other people
have had similar experiences.”
