Where was/is your oesophagus?

Happy New Year everyone.

In just a few days time, we'll be asking as many people as possible to post a photograph on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc of themselves pointing to their oesophagi (or where it used to be if more appropriate).

Details may be found on this website: PTYO.org.uk

If you have a social media account, get a photo taken of yourself in readiness to post on or after Sunday 4th January, nominating 2 or 3 friends to do likewise.

Hopefully, by the time of the national Be Clear On Cancer campaign launch on 26th January, more people will be aware of the importance of their oesophagus.
