Esophageal Cancer Awareness spreads across the USA!
I just received official proclamation from KY Governor Beshear-
APRIL IS ESOPHAGEAL AWARENESS MONTH IN Kentucky!
That brings the USA tally to at least 20 states.

Here are a few stories about family members that worked with myself & ECAN.org on this in their own state (thank you all for your efforts!):
New Jersey:

Oregon:

This is just a beginning to help awareness, prevention, early diagnosis, better treatment options & improved EC research funding.
