I have had Barrett's Esophagus for almost 4 yrs now (at least that's when I had the endoscopy that show'd I had Barrett's cells). It's very painful to have Barrett's cells in your esophagus.....they are precancerous cells. It's scary to have them because at any time they can change over to cancer.
There's a new procedure to eradicate Barrett's cells. It's called The Halo Procedure. My Barrett's specialist at Baylor College of Medicine is now doing this procedure and I'm going to have it done on the 13th of this month. I'm not worried about my doctor's skill in this procedure...he's world renown for Barrett's. It's just I always worry anytime I go under anesthesea. I will be glad when it's all over with and I won't have to worry so much about getting cancer of the esophagus (tho it's always possible....this procedure really cuts down the chances).
Anyway.....just thought I'd share all that.....and think of me on the 13th!
