Hi there  I am new to the group and my Dad has just had a total Laryngectomy. He has let his beard grow whilst in hospital but wants to shave it off from at least round his neck but wondered if anyone had any advice for the best way of doing it? He is worried about hairs going into the stoma hole or catching it with the clippers. Thanks 

  • Hi and welcome to the online community although I'm sorry that you've had to find us.

    I see that you've already found, joined and posted this question in the very friendly head and neck cancer group and I'm sure you'll soon get a response from someone with the same experience as your dad.

    When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your dad's journey so far into your profile as it really 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 '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.
