Hi,

I am 63 yrs old will be  64 in April I had an endoscopy 4 weeks ago and I was so concerned about having the procedure it did not occur to me that they would find anything concerning ,and I was shocked when the nurse handed me a print out of the findings!!! They found a 3cm ulcer in the edophogus and a small hiatal hernia ,also suspected barrets and a biopsy was taken.I worried myself sick and phoned the endcpy dpt .The endoscopist phoned me and said she wished i had called sooner to put my mind at ease as she found nothing sinister at all but confirmed i do have a small area of barrets as there has been a small change in the lining of my gullet ,now i'm on esomeprazole 40mgs twice daily and its not pleasant but its to heal the ulcer and a follow up scope in march and a check up in 3 years ,I have always been healthy   happy and very positive but now I feel as if i have a time bomb inside and have no peace of mind ,can anyone offer any advice ? It wld be most welcome thankyou so much .
