We are a support group for people diagnosed with or recovering from oesophageal and gastric cancers. We also campaign for a better awareness for the signs and symptoms of the disease.
GUTSY is a patient-run support group primarily for patients undergoing surgical treatment, radiotherapy or chemotherapy for these cancers. We realise people will visit this site or attend our meetings for a variety of reasons. Some will just want to be reassured that they are not alone in dealing with their disease and will seek basic advice. Others will need to understand everything there is to know about their condition and its treatment. Inevitably, this site will tread a middle path between the two.
Meetings are generally held in the Wrexham area but we are looking to set up more local meetings and some on-line ones as well.
