Hi ,I had a Laryngectomy seven weeks ago now ,after a month in Addenbrookes I have been at home three weeks I think I am coping OK at the moment , sleeping a lot better now although I tend to cough just after I lay down in bed ,but that's getting better .I was wondering how do we get on in the winter when we need jumpers ,warmer coats that zip right up to your chin , I have tried this and it really restricts my breathing . There might be a simple answer, has anyone else had this problem , anyway thankyou fir listening and take care
Hi Cockneyrebel and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I don't have the answer to your question but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list.
You might also like to join and post in the main head and neck cancer group, where I'm sure you'll find others who have encountered this problem.
To join, just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there. Once you've joined you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.
