My Barrett hasn’t changed to cancer snd I pray it doesn’t. How I noticed something was chest and breast pain. The doctors did every chest pain test possible and all was good. All this started after I started talking an osteoporosis pill once a month. I continued to mention to doctors that medicine caused me to belch and gave me indigestion. I was advised the good out ways the bad with this drug. Long story short I was so uncomfortable my gastro doctor performed an upper GI snd found Barrett. My point is I believe we miss symptoms thinking it is something else I wish my cardiologist had said to me your heart is good it may be time to see a gastro doctor.

My gi doc did endoscopy and found my EC tumor back in 2022. He thought he was just going to stretch esophagus to make swallowing easier. After chemo and radiation treatment, the EC was gone. But the treatment was not without its challenges including feeding tube for a couple of months.
