Finding it hard to cope

I was diagnosed with barretts in Oct 2022, I have had no symptoms, this was picked up by chance on a ct scan. My stress levels have rocketed as my father past away at 52 years old of what we were told was gulet cancer, it was horrendous for the family to witness what he had to endure, since the biopsies I have felt some changes but my head keeps telling me that it's physiological. I have told my husband and children of the barretts (they never seen what my father endured) I haven't told the rest of the family as I am scared. My head is all over the place and I don't know what to do or think. Anyone else in the same boat. X

  • I am so sorry. Can totally imagine how much anxiety you are feeling and fear. At times like this we get lost in our mind, at least I do, and we fear the worse. Not surprised you are stressed and sorry not to be able to offer help. Hopefully docs are monitoring you closely and will stay ontop of things. Just wanted to reply so you are not alone. Take care x

  • Thank you ️. I plucked up the courage today to contact the gp as I know there is changes going on with my condition. This morning I felt pain in my gulet, this is the first day of being aware of the situation.  Bn reading some things on this page and I feel silly asking for help and advice considering what most people are having to deal with. My heart goes out to all that are suffering ️ ️
