282 – Finding Purpose After Diagnosis: A Patient’s HNC Triumph – Yvonne McClaren WOMT


Listen Later

What do your HNC patients *really* want you to know? My guest this week is spilling the tea from her own personal triumph over HNC...

Yvonne McClaren has faced the unthinkable - from a tonsil cancer diagnosis to a partial glossectomy (and tonsillectomy and lymphadenectomy), but has gone on to change the outlook for other HNC patients through her work as a passionate patient advocate.

She's a chef, soup savant, contributing author to university curricula, and podcast host.

Yvonne’s goal is to bridge the gap between SLPs /Dietitians and home kitchens with lived experience as a passionate foodie who promotes the social implications of meals with those that we love.

She brings her experience, passion, and enthusiasm to this episode which is a must-listen for all SLPs.
