Hiya Paul.

I cant answer you question.but can you tell me what cancer you had to have had a trach fitted?..as I am going through vocal chord cancer at present but I've got to have the RT and chemo..thanks

I was diagnosed with laryngeal (larynx) cancer about three and a half years ago. I had four weeks of radiotherapy. I also have COPD and bronchiectasis and was having a lot of breathing issues. I attended my local A&E and was examined by an ENT consultant who advised that I needed a tracheostomy because he saw signs of the cancer returning and coupled with my COPD and bronchiectasis this was the cause of my breathing issues. Hope this helps and good luck with your treatment going forward.

Thank you Peter, I will click on that link now.

Thanks for that..as I think in long run that's what I will be having..

Hi Paul, I have used Insurancewith, for my travel insurance. They have always been reasonably priced, compared to other companies.
