Topic context

Understanding throat cancer

Throat cancer, which doctors group with head and neck cancers such as cancer of the larynx or tonsil, can change how a person speaks, swallows and eats. Some people also live with a changed appearance, a feeding tube for a time, or a new way of speaking, and with the worry that comes with every follow-up visit.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with throat cancer

Peer support can help with throat cancer because so much of the experience is about communication, and being with people who wait patiently while you find your words is a relief. A group gives you company for the long stretch after treatment, when appointments slow down and the changes remain.

Inside the room

What throat cancer groups often cover

  • Changes to your voice and being understood by others
  • Eating, swallowing and meals with family and friends
  • Feeling self-conscious about how you look or sound
  • Worry before scans and follow-up appointments

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • People in treatment for throat cancer or recovering from it
