The aim of Jude's Health Journey is to: - share my experience of living with mouth cancer for over 20 years; - raise awareness of eating and speech difficulties; - share things I’ve learned and products that work for me; and - provide recipes that I’ve adapted for my limited ability to chew and manipulate food. ## About I'm Jude, and this is the face behind Jude's Health Journey! I live in a beautiful part of Scotland with my partner, Duncan. We enjoy live folk music, holidays in our caravan, and simple pleasures like listening to the birdsong in our back garden. We love spending time with friends and family, sharing food and maybe a Friday night cocktail! I was diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2002. Since then I’ve had several recurrences in my tongue and other parts of my mouth. I've had a lot of surgery which means that I find eating difficult. Preparing and consuming food is a daily challenge, and I hope that via this website I can help others who are facing similar challenges.
