I have been diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus since 2008 but only in June 2017 did it progress to low dysplasia. Then in February 2017 it progressed to high dysplasia. That really worried me as I have had no symptoms of BE.i have never had symptoms but about six different times over the years I have been aware of GERD. But I do have a family history of cancer with my Dad dying at age 59 with lung cancer and my sister dying at age 35 of breast cancer. I had two RFA TREATMENTS TWO MONTHS apart and they both came back high dysplasia. Then in June I took myself to
MDAnderson for an appt and they did an endoscopy and an EMR and found a small stage 1 adenomacarcinoma cell. cell. Three months later I had another endoscopy where they did smother EMR and found just high dysplasia. Then I. November and February 2018 I had another RFA treatment. I am scheduled to go back in June of this year. I am going they will show that the BE is eradicated but I understand that I will
Have to go back every three years for the rest of my life to have these endoscopes. I hoping to hear from someone who can tell me that they have cleared the BE and are not having to go back so often. Is there anyone out there hi is being monitored as I am. How long have you been treated? I have not had many people to talk to about this. I appreciate this connection.
