Just diagnosed with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Very scared

My husband was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. We are very scared. Second opinion. And has anyone had this.

@rexsan20, that sounds like a question best asked of your doctor. Might your dry nose, eyes and mouth be caused from another underlying issue like Sjogren's that requires investigating?

I just had a scope done on my Barrett Esophagus
The Prague Classification for my Barrett Esophagus came back C7 M7.
I am waiting for the biopsy results which take a week to ten days.
Is C7M7 a number that should raise alarm bells?

Hi Trev,
As you probably already know, the higher the Prague C&M numbers, the more severe the Barrett's esophagus and the higher the risk of developing cancer. So I’m glad that you’ve had additional testing.

Any news about the biopsy results?
