by
Head and Neck
Cancer
Medial & Frontal section of a Head & Neck
This model was first mentioned
last year by the consultants at the clinic at the Ipswich Hospital
after a patient wanted to see a diagram of exactly where his cancer
was actually located in relation to all the other organs and Mr
Hilger believed it would be most useful to have a detailed model of
the head and neck which could always be used to assist the
explanation and help patients understand what was involved when
receiving a diagnosis of a cancer in that
area.
Steve and Dave, our clinic
volunteers picked up on this and suggested to the Group that this
really was a project that comfortably fell within the remit of why
our Support Group was founded and the Committee supported this
purchase for the clinic. So, our offer to purchase the Medial &
Frontal section of a head & neck was gratefully accepted and
chosen by Mr Hilger on behalf of the Multi Disciplinary Team (the
MDT) and is now in use.
