I’m really worried

I'm abit of a worrier I went to the doctors this morning I've been suffering with acid reflux and the feeling of food stuck in my chest area then it comes back up I wake up and I'm sick I've been bringing up blood and feeling shattered he prescribed me lansoprazole for the acid reflux and sending me for a fast track endoscopy I'm scared really scared I've never smoked and never drank excessively Just need to no if anyone else has these symptoms and what was the outcome 

  • Hello huni my name is lisa. I had these symptoms and a long journey following. I am happy to talk if youd like but I dont want to scare you or anything. The forum is a lovely place for support xxx

  • Hi Lisa thankyou for reaching out can I ask what was the outcome of the symptoms I have a blood test today and I'm waiting for my endoscopy not slept much I'm working today I no I've got to just try be positive and not think the worse but my track record not had the best luck in life hope your well and your road wasn't to long I'm a good listener also love Ann xx

  • The waiting is the hardest part, I am awful at it. My endoscopy was a fail as they couldn't get past a "stricture" I got told there is a chance of cancer, I got sent straight for CT. Didn't find anything out until after I had a PET, MRI done. Symptoms became worse. I had all these tests within 2.5 weeks. I got told at consultant that it was esophageal cancer but I would need a laparoscopy to stage for definite. They done this the following week along with fitting a feeding tube. I then found out i had stage 3. Not great but they still aimed for cure. I remain positive. One day at a time xxx
