I am a Patient

Being diagnosed with cancer can be a very scary and confronting experience.

Being diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer can be even more confusing and daunting given the complexity of these types of cancers and the impact they can have on a person’s basic abilities like eating, breathing, speaking, drinking and swallowing.

Head and Neck Cancer Australia provides easy to understand information about each type of Head and Neck Cancer. Our resources include a comprehensive library of information sheets, 3D animations, patient and carer videos and podcasts.
