April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month and a Valley man wants to spread the message of early detection after losing his partner last year to the disease after a late-stage diagnosis. MORE ⬇️
It was a brightness that shined from within, as shown in photos of Robert Spinner's partner, Dave Bigott.
Spinner says Bigott was active — a social guy who loved trips to Maui and around the world. But in late 2021, it all began to change. But the diagnosis would turn out to be something much more serious. In early 2022, Bigott would learn he had Stage IV esophageal cancer. While researchers have made significant progress over the last few decades, it's still incredibly difficult to diagnose.
According to the American Cancer Society, only about 20% of people with esophageal cancer survive at least five years after getting diagnosed.
