Presentation by Julie McCrossin, Head & Neck Cancer Survivor

Thank you so much for holding this Symposium.

Many Head & Neck Cancer patients need your help to return to a happy sexual life.

We are the walking wounded.

We are damaged emotionally or physically or both.

Many of our partners are traumatised too.

Please band together & fight for the money you need to help us.

We need you – the teams that saved our lives – to stick with us as we manage the side effects for the rest of our lives.

We need you – our multidisciplinary teams – at 5, 10 & 15 years, – including quick access to dentists, specialist nurses & psychologists.
