Hi Colleen,
Thank you for commenting! Yes, they did biopsies at both scopes and all results posted in my chart look to me as being negative. I have not heard personally from my doctor yet, However I did see Barrets in my chart so I'm not sure if it was there as "r/o" or an actual diagnosis. After reading comments in this thread I have a lot of questions for her. If I don't hear from her in the next week or so I will call for a follow up visit so I can understand exactly what condition my condition is in!
Any advice on what questions I should ask would be appreciated! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Here are a few questions I might ask:
Do my lab reports show precancerous changes (dysplasia)? If so, what is the grade of my dysplasia?
How much of my esophagus is affected?
How often should I be screened for changes to my esophagus?
Do I have dysplasia and if so was it confirmed by an expert pathologist?
What's my risk of esophageal cancer?
Do I need to make diet or other lifestyle changes?
I have other health conditions. How can I best manage these conditions together?
