Laryngectomy Related Facebook Groups

Lary’s Speakeasy is dedicated to providing you the best resources for head and neck cancer and related issues.

If you have a Facebook group you would like to add, visit our Contact Us page and send us a message.

Facebook groups can be “Public”, “Open”  or “Closed” – Public groups are just that, anyone can see them, post to them, nothing is “private”, if you post there, it could show up on your timeline/newsfeed.  Open groups generally have some restrictions on who can post, and postings may or may not show up on your timeline/newsfeed.  Closed Groups are “confidential”, not visible to anyone but members (other than their main page for signups, of course), posts do not show up on your friend’s timeline/newsfeed.  If you want to post a question but are concerned about someone seeing it, typically you can ask the group’s administrator to post it on your anonymous behalf.
