Partner's Esophageal Cancer Death Inspires Valley Man's Awareness Campaign

A Valley man is raising awareness about esophageal cancer after losing his partner to the disease last year. Dave Bigott was diagnosed with Stage IV esophageal cancer in early 2022 after experiencing issues with eating and acid reflux. Despite significant progress in treatment, only about 20% of people with esophageal cancer survive at least five years after diagnosis. The man is using Facebook to connect with others and raise awareness about the importance of early detection. April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month.
