Experiences with

Laryngectomy

Hello All, I am taking care of my father in law(63 years and diabetic) who had Pyriform fossa (cancer stage 4A) had a treatment 3 weeks ago (30th June 2020) which consist of tracheostomy as part of total laryngectomy (voice chords are removed) alongwith PMMAC flap and partial thyroidectomy.

We have just found out that mum who is a laryngectomy and who has taken levothyroxine for underactive thyroid due to a partial removal 12 years ago has a low vitamin b12. this is due to levothyroxine stopping the absorption of normal b12 via food.

My brother underwent a total laryngectomy at the Royal Victoria last April followed by radiotherapy (33) at Belfast City and he's not in a good place mentally and I know he would benefit from meeting others like himself as I can never understand what he's been through or how lonely and isolated he feels

Hi my dad has chronic lung disease due to pheonomia and smoking for years he did give smoking up about 4 years ago, He had cancer and had a laryngectomy about a year ago, How long does it take to get the right sort of help?
