Past Webinars

Diet and How to Get Comfortable Eating Socially

Many head and neck cancer patients struggle to swallow or tolerate certain foods after treatment, making eating out feel like something to avoid rather than enjoy.

This webinar features retired Consultant Oncologist Professor Dr Mehmet Sen and patient speaker Hazel Turner, who share expert advice and personal experience to help patients and their families navigate a new diagnosis.
