Esophageal Cancer Support & Survivorship

Our support groups are designed with your convenience in mind, and we offer a variety of meeting formats to best suit your needs. Please contact the person listed on each support group page for more information or to register for the session that fits your schedule and preferences.

The faculty and staff at Fox Chase Cancer Center are here to support you and your family through the assessment and potential treatment of esophageal cancer.

The Esophagectomy Support Group is on break for the summer and will resume in the fall.

Individual's diagnosed with esophageal cancer who are considering surgery, or who have had surgery, are invited to attend a monthly support group sponsored by Fox Chase Cancer Center.

This group, designed for esophagectomy patients, helps people learn about the procedure and share their experiences with others. The group is made up of newly diagnosed patients, those currently undergoing treatment, and those who are post-treatment patients who share successful ways of coping.

For information and registration, call Linda Schiech at 215-728-4777.
