I had my EGD for Barrett's on Nov-19. The Dr. came by the recovery room and said everything looks great!
He said he took a few biopsies and would call me. So the nurse called today and said I might have stomach cancer from the biopsies he took. There sending me to a oncologist. The nurse then told me to have a great weekend which I replied how can I after talking to you. So now we'll see how this chapter turns out. Bummed out for the weekend! He also said I have chronic Gastritis. Is this the right group for stomach cancer posts?

@riflemanz64 Dammit! I hate that for you! But you said the nurse said “might have” — so hopefully it is NOT cancer! Praying for riflemanz64 🙏🙏🙏

I can certainly understand you being "bummed out for the weekend" @riflemanz64. That was an inconsiderate way to be given the news of a possible cancer diagnosis.

I hope that you get better news when you meet with the oncologist. Will you post again when your oncology appointment is scheduled?
