Our Story
Greg was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer back in 1984 and given only 30 days to live. He refused to allow this prognosis to destroy his life and sought out people who had survived cancer after being told by their doctors that they were terminal.
From interviews with over 16,000 cancer survivors a strategy was created, and Cancer Recovery Foundation International was born. For more than twenty years, the Foundation has provided leadership in cancer survivorship.
We have been working in the UK since 2004, and are excited to focus on our effort on cancer prevention, while still supporting families dealing with cancer now.
Did You Know?
In the UK around 7 people in every 100,000 will develop oesophageal cancer.
Oesophageal cancer is not one of the most common cancers but it is one of the most preventable with scientists estimating that 75% of cases could be prevented through eating more non-starchy vegetables and fruits, by maintaining a healthy weight and drinking less alcohol.
