Chronic Disease and Chronic Condition Support Community

Good mornings, goals and gratitude's

Tue, Sep 29 | 6:00AM - 7:30AM UTC

Welcome to Good Mornings, Goals, and Gratitudes. Each morning, we meet with open hearts and tired eyes to greet the day gently, set a daily goal, and choose one small act of care for ourselves. Then, in return, we are grounded, lighter, and reminded that we are not alone. In the GGG, we start our day with positive quotes, journal prompts, self-care activities, daily intentions, and a goal we aim to achieve that day, followed by a moment of gratitude. Join us for a gentle, caring way to start your day.

Topic context

Understanding throat cancer

Throat cancer, which doctors group with head and neck cancers such as cancer of the larynx or tonsil, can change how a person speaks, swallows and eats. Some people also live with a changed appearance, a feeding tube for a time, or a new way of speaking, and with the worry that comes with every follow-up visit.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with throat cancer

Peer support can help with throat cancer because so much of the experience is about communication, and being with people who wait patiently while you find your words is a relief. A group gives you company for the long stretch after treatment, when appointments slow down and the changes remain.

Inside the room

What throat cancer groups often cover

Changes to your voice and being understood by others
Eating, swallowing and meals with family and friends
Feeling self-conscious about how you look or sound
Worry before scans and follow-up appointments

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

People in treatment for throat cancer or recovering from it
People adjusting to a new way of speaking or eating
Anyone who has pulled back from social life since diagnosis

Frequently asked questions

Is there a group only for throat cancer?

Not at the moment. The groups on this page are for people living with any serious or long-term illness, along with gentle sessions such as breathwork, and people with throat cancer are welcome in all of them.

Can I join if speaking is hard for me?

Yes. You can take part by typing in the chat, and you are welcome to listen for as long as you like.

Can my partner or caregiver join too?

Yes. Partners and caregivers can create their own free account, and ShareWell also has caregiving groups for the people doing the supporting.

Where can I find medical information about throat cancer?

The Head and Neck Cancer Alliance (headandneck.org) and SPOHNC, Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer (spohnc.org), both serve patients and caregivers.
