Head and Neck Cancer Support Australia We are a small group who have been through the treatment for a variety of forms of Head and Neck Can

Most people affected by Head and Neck Cancer experience a range of emotions including shock, anger, fear and depression after diagnosis. The majority of us have very little knowledge of the disease, treatment options and possible results. Uncertainty at various stages often brings anxiety and confusion. This group offers an opportunity to talk, listen and share experiences and information in a rel

axed, caring environment. Hearing the experiences of those who have ‘walked the walk’ may give you and your partner some reassurance, strength and hope. The group also provides opportunities to meet other people with Head, Neck and Mouth Cancer and to hear health professionals discuss topics of interest. Members often feel less alone, more informed and more supported through their cancer experience. We offer an opportunity to meet with people who have been, or are currently in a similar
situation to yourself, to discuss what to expect and some methods of dealing with the diagnosis and
the treatment.
