Hi Theresa,
I'm so glad you wrote back. Your right. I'm kinda hoping new gi will repeat biopsy as this other place that dropped the ball on me I don't have much confidence in. I am a little nervous. I don't even know much about this hyperplasia and possibly autoimmune gastritis. I'm kinda nervous though. One of my sons I had been estranged from, I talked to him this morning I told him what was going on he said he looked it up he thought hyperplasia could be genetic as my mo. Died from brain cancer. I just got more anxious. Can hyperplasia progress within the next few months,? I'm afraid of dying. I'm not even 55 and have a autistic son who is very close to me. But my appointment is Nov 10 at mass general in Boston which is a really good hospital but I'm afraid the appointment is so far away. I can be seen Sept 2 but I don't feel as confident there. I'd rather wait for mass general. Do you think I'll be safe to wait till then? Is it possible other place could be wrong I mean is biopsies ever wrong? Another thing last night I felt burning in my upper stomach first time in a long time. This morning I ate a muffin and my stomach kinda hurt afterwards as far as my weight which in recent yrs I struggled with. When I first got sick 14 months ago I was 272 this morning I was 246. I'm glad I have you to talk to.

It appears that you have lost confidence in the current medical team, and in order to feel more at ease, it would be good to get another opinion. In order for you to have peace of mind, it might be helpful to be seen at Mass General in Boston. You can certainly keep the Sept. 2 appointment if you want more feedback from them.

Since you don't know for sure, what is causing your problems, I urge you not to take leaps into dying and thinking about your mom's unfortunate bout with brain cancer. I realize that it is not easy to put aside worrying if that comes naturally to you, however, worrying really does more harm than good.

As you wait for the upcoming appointment, what can you do to relax? Do you like to walk, see movies, read books, etc.? It really is important to keep yourself as free from stress and worry as possible.

Will you share with me something that you can do to help deal with worry and stress?
