Created by Itzhak Brook MD a physician and a laryngectomee. It contains information about head and neck cancer, life after laryngectomy, and manuscripts and videos about Dr. Brook's personal experiences as a patient with throat cancer. It has information about side effects of radiation and chemotherapy; methods of speaking; airway, mucus, stoma, voice prosthesis; eating and swallowing; medical, dental and psychological issues; respiration; anesthesia; travelling; and COVID-19.
A short essay that I wrote entitled : "Touched by another human touch" was published in the My Turn section of the Los Angeles Times. The assay describes my personal experience as a patient where I discovered the power of a hug in comforting an ailing patient.
