Speech past Laryngectomy
There is a variety of speech rehabilitation offered to patients
once the voice box has been removed. The range of the top speech
methods available for patients depends on different factors including
the person's age and inclinations. The aim of all
rehabilitation is to be taught to talk by the way that is best for
that individual.
Loss of One or Both Testicles
Men with testicular cancer are generally young. To reinstate a more
normal look, a man can have a testicular prosthesis surgically implanted
in his scrotum. The
prosthesis is filled with silicone gel, and comes in numerous sizes
to match up the remaining testicle. It appears and feels like a
testicle. The only proof left of the operation is the scar, which
is often hidden by pubic hair.
Marks and Wounds
People with cancer possibly will have cuts or scars as a result
of surgery, or side effects of radiation therapy. The wound may
exist only below the skin, on the skin, or both. Correct care of
wonds will assist them to heal and keep them protected from infection.
When the wound heals, a scar will be evident.
