"20-20 Voice" Cancer Appeal
Today I had a lovely conversation with a gentleman called Phil Johnson. Phil is the chairman of the "20-20 Voice" Cancer Appeal
Conversation is something we often take for granted but for some of you it can prove difficult. Often an acute shortness of breath can make it very difficult to express your needs or ask for help. In fact with many lung diseases its one of the danger signs that all is not well. If you have difficulty forming a sentence without gasping in between words then you should always seek medical advice.
Then imagine not being able to speak at all. Cancer is always an overwhelming diagnosis but if its cancer of the head or neck one outcome of your treatment could be or a stoma or hole in your throat, a tracheostomy, or laryngectomy which may leave you without the ability to speak.
ENT cancer is often overlooked. Fund raising and publicity quite sparse. That's where the "20-20 Voice" Cancer Appeal comes in.
Their aim is to provide up to the minute camera technology to ENT units nationwide. Early detection gives head & neck patients the best chance of retaining the power of speech. It gives ENT specialists not only the opportunity of an early diagnosis but the opportunity of immediate treatment which saves the patient unnecessary stress, providing a greater chance of avoiding major surgery and therefore saving hospitals valuable time and money. Their aim is to ensure that Head & Neck cancers get more acknowledgement

Omron CompAir Pro NE C900 nebuliser
Omron Comp Air Pro NE C900
It's a big name for a nebuliser.
Weighing in at 2.2 kg its not the smallest nebuliser in the Omron range. It's also not particularly stylish or sophisticated but to steal a phrase from a well know varnish company “it does what it says on the tin” or in this case, the box.
It is a no-nonsense, straight-forward compressor nebuliser which is simple to assemble, easy to maintain and comes with a three year warranty and at a very reasonable price.
The most important benefit for some of you will be the Smart Structure Kit which is a fancy name for a simple but effective medication chamber which only has TWO PARTS !
No more lost baffles, mushrooms or vaporising heads. Call it what you will, they do go astray and as many of you have discovered without this small but essential item nothing happens.
The Omron C900 packs a punch which means it is suitable to be used with a wide range of nebuliser medications and has been designed to be compatible with alternative air tubes and chambers, so for those of you who are fortunate enough to still be supplied with accessories, the C900 nebuliser with its 3 year warranty could just fit the bill.

World COPD Day November 14th 2012
GOLD!
For those of you of a certain age like us the word GOLD written in capitals should be followed by an exclamation mark and make you want to break out into a song. In this case however it stands for something a little more serious the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease
The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) works with health care professionals and public health officials to raise awareness of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and to improve prevention and treatment of this lung disease for patients around the world.
The first World COPD Day was held in 2002. Each year organizers in more than 50 countries worldwide have carried out activities, making the day one of the world's most important COPD awareness and education events. This year November 14th will be World COPD Day with the theme “It’s Not Too Late.” a positive message chosen to emphasize the meaningful actions people can take to improve their respiratory health, at any stage before or after a COPD diagnosis.
If you want to find out how you can get involved on a more local level you can contact the British Lung Foundation or if you yourself are needing help and support why not check out just what is available locally. BLF across the UK
