  • Hi Dani

    Dont know if u remember me we spoke about ten months ago i had cancer on my larynx.

    Have signed up for the course as i have lymphodema at the moment and am starting a neck massaging course next week in singelton i remember u had your treatment there too im from Swansea.

    I see your still giving people advice and helping people on here as you did with me when i was diagnosed im still in the system at mo but im getting there had some great advice from Mike O yesterday which really helped me.

    Many thanks for the link i was chuffed when i noticed the docs are fron Wales.

    All the best.

  • Hi Chris. Lovely to hear from you. When I was discharged from treatment at the singleton I was offered an appointment at a lymphodema clinic. It might be worth phoning your CNS to see if they are still running it.

  • Update on this. There wasn’t much on head and neck but the dedication and attention to detail of this team was inspiring. I’m glad I watched it anyway.
