My Nonprofit Reviews

When my husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, (EC) the bottom fell out of my world. I was so distraught that it was hard to try and pull together information that would help us make crucial decisions. I heard about ECAN from someone else fighting EC and found it to be extraordinarily helpful with a huge amount of well organized information. Equally important, it helped us connect with others facing EC, a rare cancer. It helped sustain me as my husband’s disease worsened. After he passed away, it was incredibly helpful in giving me a way to help others facing this horrible disease, volunteering to support efforts to find cures, and meeting others who have faced the devastating consequences of EC. Mindy, the president of ECAN is so kind, caring , and powerfully effective in helping all of us turn the worst experience of our lives into a fight to make sure others don’t have that experience. This is a rare resource that has an enormous impact.
