For more than three decades, the OPA has fought against oesophageal and gastric cancers, raising awareness, supporting patients, caregivers and their families. Whether you are in the early stages or further along in your journey, the OPA is dedicated to offering support and guidance. We have prepared medically approved booklets and fact sheets all free of charge about the problems these types of cancer can generate, the pains that can be suffered and the effects on the digestive system that can be experienced. Informal meetings for patients and carers are regularly held at regional centres around the UK. OPA have introduced Zoom meetings with a Patient Buddy, please contact us if you would like further details. Call the cancer support helpline on 0121 704 9860 or email enquiries@opa.org.uk and we will be happy to arrange this for you.
