I have been diagnosed with Barrett's esophageus

I’ve spent the past 2 weeks looking into molecular hydrogen therapy since first hearing of it. I was shocked by the amount of scientific support for something I’ve never heard of.

But then, why would I have heard of it. My life was blissfully unaware of everything I’ve had to learn. Like the fact that swallowing problems could happen, or that they could be a sign of cancer. That there’s something called Achalasia. That that isn’t what is causing my husband’s sudden swallowing issues (Feb 2023). That his hiccuping wasn’t just a funny thing that happened when he ate too quickly (for months before that). That a radiologist could look at a barium swallow (in March) and send a report saying “it’s normal “, only to change his mind in August and say, “In retrospect, there’s a mass consistent with a malignant tumour”. That the doctors call his illness terminal. That it’s hard to break this news to a 6 and 12 year old.

I’ve learned a lot of things and the only one I’ve enjoyed learning is that God’s grace, through Jesus, is truly sufficient and that there really is a peace beyond all understanding.

Praying for the best outcomes for you and I’m so glad you have the awareness to do all that you can to protect yourself.

My Dad was suffering from hiccups for approx. 5 months before his diagnosis. The Oncologist said that this is a sign of a tumor - I have never heard of this before or since. I wish somehow that some of these "signs" were more commonly known.

I am so sorry that your husband and you and your family are going through this. May God hold you in his loving arms.
