My husband has recently had a total laryngectomy and also had to have his tongue removed, so is no longer able talk. He only had his op on 10th December so still early days. Just wondered if anyone else has had experience of learning how to communicate again and the frustrations and guilt of having to eat in front of him when he is only on protein shakes. As I said early days still a long way to go.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear the problems that your husband is experiencing and it's natural that you want to try and help him. Could I suggest that you join the head and neck cancer group and post this question there as well as you'll find lots of people who will understand what your husband is going through.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
