Thursday came and my husband had an endoscopy done because of his GERD. After the procedure the doctor brings me in and gives me the report. The dr. said he did good, BUT, he found some scar tissue that he did a biopsy on. He thinks it might be Barrett's syndrome. Barrett's syndrome is pre-cancer cells that grow in the esophagus and will either become cancer or will remain benign and be a bother to him the rest of his life. I am just a little freaked out because we have had 2 people in our ward die within the last year or two of esophageal cancer and another ward member who has it and doesn't have and esophagus any more and is miserable. If he has cancer all I can think of is how am I going to support three kids through every thing he has to go through and provide for a family! Ohh ..kay... I am really scared!
I dont think I will be all that easy until we get the results back on tuesday!
Well thanks for letting me get this off my chest and vent. I hope everyones day is going good!!

SO SORRY! When it rains it pours. I would be a basket case waiting for test results too. Read your book and try to keep your mind elsewhere if possibe. Easier said than done, I know!!!

I hope that he's ok. I will have to check back and see how things are on Tuesday...Good luck!!
