Comment: | The Oesophageal Patients' Association (OPA) provides information, support and advice to anyone who now has, or has had in the past, cancer of the oesophagus and / or the stomach. Its objectives are to help new patients and their families to cope with any difficulties arising as a result of treatment, giving support and encouraging them to make a good recovery. This is done by visiting patients in hospital, where possible, before and-or after treatment, establishing contact with them at home during convalescence, providing information on matters of concern and arranging meetings of patients. |
