  • Hello Eamonn and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you can't stop thinking that you will develop cancer after you were diagnosed with Barrett's oesophagus.

    I know this must be tough, but I hope this information we have about Barrett's oesophagus will help to ease your mind.

    If you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful, and supportive, and will do all that they can to address your worries and concerns.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Eamonn and sending all our support your way.
