Hello and thank you for contacting us.
I am sorry to hear about your friend and the lack of available equipment to help her communicate.
We have information about the electrolarynx on our website Here.
Macmillan Cancer Support does provide patient grants so it may be worth discussing this with them, they have information on this here.
The Swallows and Head and Neck Cancer UK are both charities supporting patients with these cancers, so it may be good to also contact them in case they can give any further support.
Take care and if you find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah.
