I recently welcomed Paul and Sue to my office to hear about Paul’s experiences following treatment for head and neck cancer.
We discussed their work with The Swallows Head & Neck Cancer Support Group and the charity’s campaign for NHS dental care to be included as part of the treatment for survivors.
The Swallows Leicester Support Group, for survivors and caregivers, meets monthly - please do share the meeting details below with anyone you think would be interested.
On the second Friday of every month
2-4pm
The Sue Young Cancer Support Centre, Helen Webb House, 35 Westleigh Road, Leicester, LE3 0HH.
You can find out more about The Swallows here: https://theswallows.org.uk/
I’ll be writing to the Health Minister and British Dental Association about post-treatment access to NHS dentistry, some of the side effects that survivors experience and the forthcoming Cancer Plan.
