I wanted to inform everyone about the publication of my new book "The Laryngectomee Guide�. The Guide provides practical information that assist laryngectomees and their caregivers in dealing with medical, dental and psychological issues.
It contains information about the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy; the methods of speaking; airway and stoma care, and voice prosthesis. In addition it addresses eating and swallowing issues, medical, dental and psychological concerns, respiration and anesthesia, and travelling as a laryngectomee.
A link to the free e book is available in my Blog at http://dribrook.blogspot.com/
A paperback and Kindle Edition are also available.
I hope that you will find the guide helpful.

Sincerely,
