Barrett's Wessex is a patient support & education charity (reg. no. 1148727)
On average one person an hour dies of oesophageal cancer in UK.
There could be three million people with the pre-cancerous condition, Barrett's Oesophagus, in UK but only 100,000 have been identified and will be screened to minimise the risk of progression to cancer.
NB. This site is run by non medically trained personnel. Although we take advice from medical colleagues nothing on this site should be taken as a replacement for seeing your own doctor
We have joined with other charities worldwide to support 16th May as World Barrett's Day.
What to expect if you're due:
I owe my life to the machine Barrett's Wessex bought.
