FEW operations are more daunting than surgery for mouth, head and neck cancer. It is long and complicated and leaves patients with many difficulties on the road to recovery.
Carol Dunstones surgeon told her: You can face the wall or turn round and face the future. She and her friend Ann Bennett opted for the latter and both survived triumphantly.
To help others along the way, these two inspirational women have revealed how they did it. They tackle difficult issues like feeding tubes, learning to talk again, dealing with scars and dry mouth and regaining their confidence.
The authors tell how medical experts set them on their journeys of recovery, what made them laugh and cry and how family and friends raised their spirits.
They suggest where to find professional comfort and advice and list mainstream and complementary practitioners who can help you look and feel better.
Their sense of fun and joie de vivre comes out in their Recipes chapter with dozens of delicious dishes for those with eating difficulties.
Anyone facing an operation for mouth, head and neck cancer or having to cope with a recovering relative, will feel a lot more optimistic after reading Carol and Anns wise and witty words.
The group is called FACEFAX and Carol, a ceramic artist who had helped set it up, was recovering from an operation six years earlier. Ann, a complementary therapy consultant, was attending her first meeting after surgery the previous year.
They discovered that not only were they recovering from similar illnesses butshared a determination to help other people in the same predicament. So they decided to pool their experiences and write a book explaining how mind, body and spirit can be restored after cancer.
These two extremely attractive ladies are living proof that it is possible to return to a normal life after difficult surgery and Trilogy describes their individual journeys of recovery. It also provides countless tips on solving problems.
Both authors are married. Carol has three children and Ann has one and they reveal how their family and close friends helped them through. But they also called on a great deal of specialist help and they devote three chapters to describing it and where it can be found. People like Macmillan nurses, oncologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, masseurs, diet specialists, dentists, hairdressers and cosmetic suppliers. They also give full details of complementary therapists offering treatments such as Reiki healing, cymatherapy, spiritual healing, reflexology and hypnotherapy.
And for those having difficulty eating after mouth surgery, they offer nearly 40 delicious recipes for easy-to-eat dishes, compiled with the help of their friends.
The message in Trilogy is one of great optimism and love of life and the book will be a help and comfort to anyone who is about to undergo surgery or embark on the journey of recovery.
