Who we are and why we exist
This monthly group is for patients or caregivers with head and neck cancer at ANY stage of disease or recovery and their families/significant others.
A patient-directed self-help organization dedicated to meeting the needs of Oral and Head and Neck Cancer Patients. There are short topics presented each month by guest speakers. There is time for sharing information and asking questions related to your experience and recovery. This group is co-sponsored by Kim Webster a speech pathologist at JH and Dwayne Arehart, a head and neck cancer survivor. We do not dispense medical advice but use the time to help each other by sharing what we know and have experienced.
