Looking Forward...

This guidebook represents the collaboration of various members of the health care team who work with laryngectomees throughout the rehabilitation process. The guide provides information and guidance to ease the burdens of those who must communicate to the patient the news that she or he has a cancer in the voice box, requiring its removal. Primarily, this book speaks to the patients and their loved ones. The book should be of interest to otorhinolaryngologists, surgeons, speech pathologists, and patients and their loved ones.
