No problem and I am so sorry to hear about your husband. After my initial endoscopy I learned that I would need an advanced practice gastroenterologist to do the removal. I live in North Carolina and neither Duke nor UNC could get me in quickly so I did a search and chose a fantastic physician Dr. Mouen Khashab. He is at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I asked for a referral to him and was in for polyp removal in a week. I had an adenoma polyp, the most common type. It was removed just one year ago without complications. 6 months after that my gastroenterologist here did another upper endoscopy....no reoccurrence and no evidence of cancer in the first or second procedure. I have another upper endoscopy in December to check again. If you go to the John's Hopkins site look him up. He has quite the curriculum vitae. When is your husband scheduled for his procedure?

@gravity3 he's not scheduled yet... it was just seen Monday, and they've sent off for biopsy. We're waiting to get that back right now.
Thank you so much for your quick, kind response. So glad you're getting good results back. That's fantastic 🙏🌞
