I can only breathe through a hole in my neck so we call ourselves "Neck Breathers". I do not breathe through my nose or mouth any more since cancer caused vocal cord,voice box and esophagus removal. Trachea was rerouted to neck and called a stoma to breathe . Pictures at the following search site.Copy and paste
