OESOPHAGEAL CANCER – THE NEXT EPIDEMIC © 2009
By Derek & Janice Ferguson
The ACT launch and personal book signing in Canberra will be held at The Healthy Life Store at The Canberra Centre in Civic on Saturday, 12th December, 2009 from 11.30am following this week’s great 1000 word article in “The Catholic Voice” newspaper.
Our book, “Oesophageal Cancer – The Next Epidemic” has now been available for almost 2 months, since its release in Wagga Wagga in early October, 2009.
The book has been well received across the communities of Araluen, Lockhart, Wagga, Cowra, Braidwood and Merimbula where I have personally promoted the book.
The reports and feedback we have received say the book is “a good read” and “not a tissue box job.”
Our aim of helping others along their journey and to raise the awareness of the prevalence of Oesophageal Cancer is succeeding. Many medical professionals have expressed their support for the book towards this objective. Lives have now been saved as readers and/or their families have taken action to get medically diagnosed if they suffer from reflux on a regular basis. I thank the people who have contacted us with their stories following the launch of the book.
My thanks to WIN TV Wagga, Prime TV Wagga, The Daily Advertiser – Wagga, 2WG Wagga, The Catholic Voice – ACT, and The Cowra Guardian Newspaper for their support.
Thanks to Charles Sturt University – Wagga and The Cowra Rotary Club for making us feel so welcome and to the many outlets which have accepted the book and are supplying it to the public, most at no additional cost, so that profits from the sale of the book can be directed to voluntary organisations and cancer research. Thanks goes to David Foster, my printer from “Active Print” Wagga for the $1,000 donated from his profits to CanAssist. More guest speaking engagements are already booked or in the process of date selection at various service club venues in Forbes, Grenfell, Canowindra, Temora, Merimbula, Braidwood, Lockhart and Wagga. Please ring us if you wish us to visit your group.
I also wish to thank the hundreds of people who have taken the time to stop and discuss their experiences with us about cancer in general, reflux or the many medical or alternate remedies that they have found successful for themselves. I feel confident that the sequel, due to be published after March, 2012, will contain a multitude of revelations, helpful hints and positive comments from many of these wonderful people and will again provide another resource that is sorely needed across the country and indeed the world.

Can you help me help others by sharing this story?
Oesophageal Cancer is caused by reflux. If you have reflux, then you are prone to developing Barrett’s Oesophagus and then have a one in ten chance of contracting Oesophageal Cancer.
The book raises the awareness of Oesophageal Cancer across the country and indeed the world. Our story and the way we have written it is helping all patients, carers, families and friends, regardless of which cancer has struck their lives.
Read how Derek & Janice turned the negatives of what may have become a gravestone into milestones of achievement and survival.
