Phil's Story | Oesophageal Cancer | Stand Up To Cancer

“I don’t think there’s anything harder than telling your children that a parent is going to die.”
In May 2022, aged 32, Phil was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. Sadly, he passed away five months later.
Phil’s wife Mica has shared his story with us in support of our campaign. We Stand Up To Cancer with Mica and her family 🧡

    Oh I got tears in my eyes watching this. I have trouble swallowing (dysphagia) due to dysmotility and esoinophilic issues. I also have minor reflux and occassional peptic strictures. I can't imagine having esophageal cancer it's already hard having difficulty swallowing on its own. RIP Phil
