Many thanks to Chris Robinson who does so much for Barrett's oesophagus sufferers! For those who have been diagnosed with Barrett's and are interested in further information and the developing number of support groups, there is a directory website here:

sites.google.com/site/barre...

These are not in any way replacements or competition with the OPA support groups by the way, but are designed to give information and reassurance about dealing with Barrett's rather than the effects of cancer treatment or surgery for other reasons.

There has always been good linkage between the two charities, aiming to give the best support for patients in their individual situations.
