Review for Esophageal Cancer Action Network, Inc. (ECAN), Stevenson, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I found ECAN shortly after my husband died from Esophageal Cancer. ECAN shared out a local newspapers story on his death. A complete stranger from a different area of the country reached out to give me condolences and from that point I learned of ECAN. Along the way I got involved with volunteering with ECAN in any attempt I could to help keep my husband's fate from befalling another person. In my time volunteering with ECAN, I have come to believe that they are the way forward to help get awareness out to the masses, as well as advocate to Congress for them to fund research. They have fabulous patient resources listed on the ECAN website. I truly wish we knew about them when my husband was sick. They have guided me along the way to help me become a better advocate for people such as my husband Patrick. They have educational pamphlets that I have been able give out as needed. ECAN is an organization I am proud to say I volunteer for.
