Barrett’s Esophagus

I had a gastroscopy last week, after having feelings of a 'stuck burp' for months. The doctor said I have Barretts Esophagus, C2 M2, I was very shocked, not least because my poor husband has stage four oesophageal cancer and I am aware that Barretts can develop into the same thing. Does anyone have any experience of the condition please, I am told I need to watch my diet, avoiding caffeine, alcohol and chocolate. My biopsies are not back yet, is there anyone here who can relate? 
The consultant was the same one who diagnosed my husband, I was very tearful was all too much.

    there you are , found you(:

    I swear I am NOT a pervo/stalker (:

    just missing you off Rayb's board. That's the only place I am posting now

    WOW- Daisy, what a bizarre turn of events. I am really wondering what on earth is going on, so many 'unhappy' oesophagus's.  My mate at work has Barrats and is now scoped every year, with a huge dose of omeprazole. Every day. Been that way for about8 years.

    Good thing is that you will now be monitored and checked frequently, so anything starts getting any ideas Bang- the cell has gone ! But I am quite shocked at your turn.

    How is the old man- still painting fences?
    Any hows , glad I've found you and you are still active.

    keeping the faith
