He is the President of the Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation and has a message and support opportunity for any EC patients or survivors. He said:
I am an esophageal cancer stage III survivor of 20 years. I have been through chemo, radiation and surgery. We created the Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation (ECEF) www.fightec.org in part to help patients with their journey through this disease.

We have co-authored a book called 100 Questions and Answers about Esophageal Cancer published by Jones and Bartlett and you can get it at any book store.

We have also published a book called Esophagectomy Post Surgical Guide Questions & Answers published by Authorhouse that you can get at any bookstore or on our web site www.fightec.org

We have support groups that meet by conference call on a monthly basis. Patients calling in with quality of life questions and hearing how other patients have handled a specific issue. Calls are in the evening at 8:00PM (EDT).We have two Thoracic surgeons
