Hi, I have just joined the forum and I am in the same boat as you, your post was the first I read and I can totally relate to what you are describing, it is a rollercoaster with emotions and feeling.

I like you am trying to think positive and not read to much into it before all my results and Scan are reported on and I am told what the journey ahead is going to be, but it’s the waiting that is most difficult, the unknown! We will get there and keep positive and it’s good to have this chat forum for support as well. Take care of yourself. X

Hey lovely to hear from you.  Yes the waiting is such a tumultuous thing to go through but staying positive and not dwelling on worse case scenario is best for the mind.  Although it is difficult at times.  Sorry to hear you are going through a similar process and I hope you get some answers soon.  If you are anything like me you will just want to know what the treatment plan looks like so we can start taking steps forward.  Take care of you x 

Your reply to Spring 2402 expresses how I feel too.

It's normal to think about the worst case but unhealthy to dwell on it.

Let's hope that all our outcomes are good.

Fingers crossed for everyone and praying for the best possible outcomes for all x

Also praying for all of us x

Thinking of everyone and hoping our outcomes are good 

Thanks Anniedee, I will say a prayer for us all. Take care x

Thinking of you today and wishing you all the best x

Hi I’ve received a letter in the post for a telephone appointment with my GI consultant on 20th March . Telephone not face to face to discuss recent tests and results. Apparently they do not have results from biopsy of histology yet and I am not sure whether that is good news or not . The endoscopy said a diagnosis of hiatus hernia and gastritis and to continue current medication. I am on esomeprazole 40mg per day . It also said there was possible Barrett’s tongue and a biopsy taken to rule that out . Evidence of cancer - No . I wonder why they take biopsies then unless it is to check samples of the oesophagus? 
just hoping then that all will be well. I have a son with Aspergers who is worrying himself sick about all this and I cannnot reassure him for the time being but fingers crossed

Another wait then.

The feedback you got regarding no cancer must be a relief.

Perhaps you could send a message to one of the nurses on here about why they might take a biopsy in respect of Barratt's tongue.

Hope your consultation on 20th March goes well.

Just FYI - my friend has just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and gastritis after having a gastroscopy. Not nice but not cancer.

Oh my x seems like a letter of mixed news x good news no cancer though which must be a relief.  As Sharza suggested perhaps submitting a question to the nurses on here might give you a bit more clar y.  More waiting now until your next appointment but at least you have a date to work towards and can count off the number of sleeps  

Take care and stay strong and hope your son isn't finding the waiting too distressing too x
