Was wondering if anyone attending the head and neck conference in Sheffield in November. Its run by the swallows charity . I'm attending. It seems very good . It's on for two days. There is no head and neck support group in northern Ireland and I really think we need one as it's increasing cancer here. I'm going with my daughter. Seems a really good panel with lots of patients with very positive stories etc. 

  • Hi. Chris always puts a huge effort into this. He’s a bit of a showman…. But in a nice sort of way. I’ve never been though.

  • Joy really I'm looking forward to attending. We are seriously lacking support I. NI. Nothing available at all. I don't know how people cope with no support x

  • Hi. Dani is right about Chris, he is a really nice guy. He came to Cornwall when the Cornwall branch of The Swallows was set up. I'm sure you will enjoy the conference.

  • Really looking forward to it. He assured me it's a fun conference and not doom and gloom and full of positivity. That's what I want to hear. We need to stay positive during our recovery and after. X

  • I attended the one that was "on line" during Covid.  That was very interesting.  It would be a very positive benefit if there was still virtual attendance alongside physical attendance.  The post conference slides just don't cut the mustard in the same way.

  • I said the same thing to Chris. He said he would look into it but he never did. My oncologist did the bit on Proton at the Cardiff one.
