Description

Welcome to the Greater Charlotte Chatterboxes – a compassionate community where individuals who have undergone laryngectomy surgery, their families, and caregivers come together to share experiences, offer encouragement, and build connections. This support group provides a safe space for members to discuss the unique challenges and triumphs that come with being a total laryngectomee.


Our group aims to foster a supportive environment where members can openly express their feelings, ask questions, and seek advice from others who have walked a similar path. Whether you're a laryngectomee navigating the journey of communication post-surgery or a caregiver seeking understanding and support, our community is here for you.


Through shared stories, resources, and a sense of camaraderie, we strive to empower each other in adapting to life after laryngectomy. Topics of discussion may include speech rehabilitation, alternative communication methods, emotional well-being, and practical tips for daily living.


Join us in this journey of resilience, empathy, and mutual support. Together, we embrace the strength that comes from unity, recognizing that no one walks alone in their cancer experience.
