Barrett's Oesophagus

After two gastroscopies I was diaganosed with Barrett's Oesophagus with High Grade Dysplasia on 22nd July. A CT scan was then carried out to rule out cancer in other organs.  This all happened very quickly. The MDT team at my local hospital recommended RFA at their feeder hospital but at my request I was referred me to a hospital out of area.

Last week I finally had an appointment at the out of area hospital where a further gastroscopy was carried out.  On completion I was advised that this hospital recommended EMR.

I am now awaiting the histology the report from the biopsies taken last week.

Can anyone advise me what the timeline should be for treatment.
