A huge thank you to Louise Owens, who completed the half marathon in Cardiff on behalf of OGCancerNI in memory of her late grandfather who she lost to oesophageal cancer.

Louise completed the half marathon in an impressive time of 1 hour 54 minutes.

We are so grateful for her choosing OGCancerNI as her cause.

 

Early Diagnosis is Key #CatchItEarly

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.

  • Persistent Indigestion
  • Difficulty swallowing or food sticking
  • Heartburn acid reflux
  • Hiccupping that wont go away
  • Unexplained weight loss.
