After a long pause mainly owing to the pandemic, we hope to get going again soon with some activities. This is all about raising awareness of the symptoms of head and neck cancers so that treatment can be sought quickly.
Unusual symptoms in the head and neck, especially if worsening, should never be ignored. See your doctor without delay.
Volunteers are essential to our charity. We have no paid charity staff. enquiries@headandneck.info
Many cancers have remained undiagnosed during the pandemic. If you are worried about symptoms in the mouth, throat or neck, get them checked asap.
