Partners in Living
Head and neck cancer patients typically undergo surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Because of the location of the cancer and the areas the treatments target, many patients face difficulties eating, chewing, swallowing, talking, and smelling-long after the cancer is in remission. The costs of these medical and dental treatments often prevent low-income patients from receiving the lifesaving care they need. HNC Living Foundation exists to help low-income people affected by head and neck cancer get access to critical medical and dental care.
