Disease Cure 365 would like to warn everyone about acid reflux’s link to cancer!
In example, John "Monte" Mordecai was diagnosed 2 years ago with esophageal cancer. He died less than one year later at age sixty-three. In Monte’s honor and his memory, his daughter Mara, now thirteen years, wanted to inform everyone about this deadly disease. It claims nearly everyone diagnosed with it; hoping that no one else would lose their father to something that could have been caught sooner if only he had been aware.
On Sunday, Mara and her mother, Mindy Mintz Mordecai put on the 2nd Annual Dance for the Cure. Mara is attempting to raise money for esophageal cancer research and also to increase awareness of the disease that has been associated with acid reflux.
"If we had known that was a risk, he could have gone in for an endoscopy," reported Mordecai. "More people in America die every year of esophageal cancer than melanoma. And we all know about sunscreen."
About sixteen thousand four hundred and seventy new cases of esophageal cancer were diagnosed in 2008 - more than 2x the number of cases thirty years ago - and about fourteen thousand two hundred and eighty died of the disease last year, according to the American Cancer Society. However, not everyone with acid reflux will get cancer.
