Laryngectomee Support Group | Kadlec - Sibel Blau

News & Events

Are you or someone you know a laryngectomy patient? Do you sometimes feel isolated or struggling to cope with the challenges that come with this life-changing surgery? Look no further! Kadlec, in collaboration with Sibel Blau, a renowned healthcare professional specializing in oncology, is proud to offer the Laryngectomee Support Group.

What is Laryngectomy?

Laryngectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the larynx (voice box). It is often performed as a treatment for laryngeal cancer or other medical conditions that affect the larynx. The procedure can have a significant impact on a person's ability to speak, breathe, and swallow.

Adjusting to life after laryngectomy can be challenging both physically and emotionally. Many individuals find comfort and support by connecting with others who have undergone the same procedure and truly understand the difficulties they face.

Why Join the Laryngectomee Support Group?

The Laryngectomee Support Group at Kadlec provides a safe and welcoming environment for laryngectomy patients and their loved ones to come together, share experiences, and receive valuable resources. Led by Sibel Blau, a compassionate expert in the field of oncology, the group aims to:

  • Offer emotional support and understanding
  • Provide education about post-laryngectomy care
  • Equip participants with effective communication strategies
  • Facilitate discussions on coping mechanisms and daily challenges
  • Connect individuals with local resources and services

What to Expect in a Support Group Meeting

During each support group meeting, participants engage in open and honest conversations facilitated by Sibel Blau. Topics for discussion may include:

  • Communication options and voice rehabilitation techniques
  • Advice on managing swallowing difficulties and changes in diet
  • Maintaining optimal respiratory health and managing breathlessness
  • Strategies for coping with social situations and navigating public spaces
  • Tips for building self-esteem and rediscovering personal identity

The support group meetings also offer opportunities to learn from guest speakers, including medical professionals, speech therapists, nutritionists, and fellow laryngectomy survivors who have successfully overcome various challenges.
