Living with and beyond cancer

After treatment you will have regular follow-up appointments with your consultant. They will examine your head and neck and may request regular scans of the area.

 

Treatments for head and neck cancer may affect how you eat and drink, or your speech. These side effects can last for several months after treatment has finished. For some, side effects will be more long term. You will continue to be supported by a specialist dietitian, speech and language therapist and a care coordinator who works within the nursing team.
