The pandemic has led to delays to cancer diagnosis and treatment, which could lead to as many as 35,000 additional deaths. With more than 55,000 cancer patients in England currently waiting for key tests, the emotional and practical support provided by less common cancer charities is needed now more than ever.
As the need for charity services increases, the donations that they depend on have decreased. Many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed but with your help, Heartburn Cancer UK can keep supporting everyone affected by Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal cancer and continue to raise awareness about the dangers of persistent heartburn - earlier diagnosis of something more serious really does help save lives. 59% of oesophageal cancer cases are preventable.
With your help, Covid-19 will not stop Heartburn Cancer UK.
