Oesophageal Cancer - Awareness Session

The WELL team are delighted to announce that there will be an awareness session provided by OG Cancer NI on topics relating to Oesophageal and Stomach Cancer. This will be held on the 10^th August.

OGCancerNI was set up specifically to benefit patients and families affected by Oesophago-gastric cancer. They have three main objectives;

SUPPORT

To support patients and carers affected by Oesophago-Gastric (Oesophageal/food pipe and Stomach) Cancer.

COMMUNICATION

To communicate the early signs and symptoms of Oesophago-Gastric cancer to promote early intervention.

ADVOCATE

To work in partnership with healthcare providers to be patient advocates and promote best outcomes.

Oesophageal cancer like many other cancers does not discriminate between age or sex and knowing and recognising the signs and symptoms are crucial to early diagnosis.  If you suffer from any of the following symptoms for longer than 3 weeks you should consult your doctor. Survival rates are very low. Only 3.4% of patients will survive if they are diagnosed at a late stage.
