Hi Helsbels,

Sorry to read your news. There’s little you can do while waiting for results, except try to relax and not overthink things. I know that’s pretty much impossible as it’s cancer and you’re bound to worry. 

If your experience is similar to mine it will go along these lines … 
- an appointment with the upper GI consultant to hear whether surgery is an option (it wasn’t for me)
- an appointment with an oncologist after an MDT meeting to discuss the scans and biopsy results and your treatment options
- start treatment 

Good luck
Dave

Hi Helsbels, sorry to hear your news. I went for my 5 year endoscopy check up in january as I ve barretts syndrome. Three weeks later in February was told my biospies were not good. I was then referred to the royal Marsden and will be having an endoscopy excision operation later in June. I have been told it's very early stages and has not spread yet to the lymph nodes so I'm praying that might be the end of it but I think it depends what they find. I have got used to just living with it and living life day by day as it is 5 months later. I hope this helps
