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. You may also like to download Cancer Council Australia's Understanding Head and Neck Cancer Booklet. We also support people living with head and neck cancer by connecting them where possible with others who have been through similar experiences. Please contact us on 1300 424 848 or email to find out more.
