  • Barrett's and Oesophageal Cancer Online Support Group

Barrett's and Oesophageal Cancer Online Support Group

We would like to invite you to join our online support group which takes the form of a closed Facebook group - a community for anyone living with Barrett’s oesophagus or oesophageal cancer.

This group is aimed at those diagnosed with either condition or for their loved ones.  It is an opportunity to share experiences and ask questions of those who may have been in a similar situation.

The online community is also there to provide support and a listening ear if you have lost a loved one to oesophageal cancer and wish to reach out to someone going through the same as you. 

We felt it was important to add an online community to our established, more traditional means of support and we hope that it will enable us to reach and provide support to those with Barrett's oesophagus or oesophageal cancer, regardless of geographical location.

In line with other groups of this type you will be asked to read and accept some forum rules before you can join.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
