  • 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, for friends and family that are looking for support when caring for someone living with cancer or for those who may have questions about a diagnosis of Barrett's. 

The online community is also there for those who may have lost a loved one and wish to reach out to someone going through the same as you. 

Now, especially, in the absence of face to face meetings and in times of isolation, we felt it was important to offer another means of support.  We hope that this will also bridge the gap for those living in areas without physical support groups.

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!
