Just been diagnosed with Barrett’s Oesophagus

Hi, I’m 53 years old and after struggling to swallow over the last 12 months plus suffering with long term acid reflux I finally went to see my GP who referred me to the hospital. I have had 3 endoscopy appointments and oesophageal dilation in December and my most recent appointment in January has shown signs of Barrett’s Oesophagus. I am awaiting biopsy results but this is a condition I have never heard of and I wondered if anyone else has been diagnosed with this.
