Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation (ECEF) Monthly Support Calls
The Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation (ECEF) offers free monthly support group conference calls for patients and caregivers affected by esophageal cancer. While most participants are post-surgery survivors, we also welcome individuals who are newly diagnosed or beginning their journey.
Occasionally, a member of the ECEF Medical Advisory Committee joins the call to provide medical insights and answer participant questions. Meetings are held at 8:00 PM (EST) and typically last one hour.
If you’d like to participate, please sign up HERE and make sure to check the box indicating your interest in joining a support group.
For any questions, feel free to call ECEF at (732) 385-7461.
