MISSION STATEMENT

“20-20 Voice” Cancer strives for the relief of sickness and the promotion of health amongst cancer sufferers and their families in particular but not exclusively by:

  • Providing information, guidance, and support to Laryngectomees, their families, the medical fraternity, and the wider community on cancers of the head and neck
  • Providing or assisting in the provision of specialist equipment to hospitals.

OUR AIMS:

Our aim is not to simply provide up-to-the-minute camera technology to ENT units nationwide, but to create a support system for all laryngectomees. We know that the equipment is essential for early detection and gives head & neck patients the best chance of retaining the power of speech, but we also know what a mountain all laryngectomees have to climb post-op! We aim to put a support structure in place asap. A phone/text line is essential and also an easily remembered e-mail address so that any ‘lays’ or their families can get in touch with us at any given time.

The “Flexi-Video-RhinoLaryngoscope” is able to put a crystal clear, full-color picture of our most hidden parts onto a 30″ TV screen; ie, 10 x’s larger than at present. This not only gives ENT specialists the opportunity of an early diagnosis but the opportunity of immediate treatment which saves the patient unnecessary stress, a greater chance of avoiding major surgery, and therefore saves hospitals valuable time and money.

The official line is simply this: “20-20 Voice” Cancer strives for the relief of sickness and the promotion of health amongst cancer sufferers and their families in particular but not exclusively by:

  • Providing information, guidance, and support to Laryngectomees, their families, the medical fraternity, and the wider community on cancers of the head and neck
  • Providing or assisting in the provision of specialist equipment to hospitals. We aim to ensure that Head & Neck cancers get more acknowledgment and with your help, we can do this.

Thank you for your support.
