I have been privileged to treat and support many people living with head and neck cancer, as well as their caregivers, over many years.

The journey can be brutal and life-changing—not only for those receiving a diagnosis, but also for the families, friends and caregivers supporting them throughout.

Early diagnosis is key. The earlier a cancer is identified, the sooner treatment and support can begin.

Recognising the signs and symptoms, knowing when to refer, and ensuring people receive the right support throughout their cancer journey can make a real difference. 💙

Mouth Cancer Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping and supporting those suffering from or at risk of mouth cancer, throat cancer and other head and neck cancers, as well as providing assistance and information on living with mouth cancer for families, friends and carers.

Help raise awareness by fundraising or join in the charity's annual fundraiser, the Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walk. You can also support the charity's self examination campaign or order a copy of the Easy to Swallow Cookbook.
