Hi Charlotte45. Welcome to the forum.

I must remind you that i'm not a doctor and I have no medical qualifications. 

It's good news that you don't have stomach cancer, although I imagine the gastritis is pretty miserable. 

Regarding the gastritis, have you reported back to your GP?  Maybe the GP can give you something like Omeprazole to reduce the amount of acid in your stomach. Worth asking.

Have you been taking Ibuprofen and aspirin on an empty stomach?  That is a definite no-no. Again, it's something to discuss with your GP.

Thankyou for the welcome, im currently taking to no avail lansoprazole 30mg also on amitriptyline 50mg that was given for a nose problem but helps with my fibromyalgia, um ive not mentioned cancer an I'll await biopsy result before saying i've not got cancer as unsure as can become erosive, I've had projectvile vomit april to july 2016 i went to my doctors was only refered for endscopy january this yr follow up 7th may waiting game now cancer rife in my family both sides

Hi I had a small carcinoma removed from my oesphagus last year,and im now having halo ablation treatment on my oesophagus.im due for my next halo in april and will be having a pre halo endoscopy at the end of this month.so I've had quite a few endoscopies this past year.and I have biopsies taken every time just to check whats going on.but I also have a written report given to me as well.im not medically trained but I would think that if you're doctors had suspected anything serious they would have taken far more than a single biopsy.I haven't noticed anymore replies from you and hope everything has turned out well.

Best wishes james

My flap valve is at serious and been waiting for ages for operation,but im having to have a knee operation 1st. I suffer mental health as i have borderline personality disordee & depression,high anxiety. Been signed off work since may 24th but knee op till 8th july. As i cant be on a list on Nhs for 2 operations im struggling mentally as my endiscopy says my condition is severe as my flap valve is knackered & my barretts has got worse,but no signs of cancerous cells yet. This was 3 months ago. Just worried by time i actually get op appt im supposed to go through a 3rd endiscopy b4 anyone gives a toss.

Just stresses & effecting my mental health to extreme whete i talk to a mental health practitioner.

I have had quite  a few throat one s and some in my bottom .I have polyps  I had 2 operations  in 2 years. One was to have some bowel n appendix  out . They said I had stomache cancer  like my nan n dad .I had quite few scans .how accurate are they please

Hello.

I had a gastroscopy by urgent GP referral last Thursday, 25/7. The procedure was done without sedation because I was there alone.

They took 7 biopsies and I felt every single one of them. It was very painful. There was one taken  from my stomach and 6 samples from 3 different places in my esophagus. Was this completely necessary if it was just routine sampling? Or does it mean they suspected cancer?

I had a colonoscopy today and whist it was happening the registrar said he would take biopsies of an area of that looked like a small ulcer and he then took several more in the lower bowel - he said - to be on the safe side. 

When I was discharged however, the nurse said they were not sending any biopsies to pathology. I’m a bit puzzled by that. 

I know they didn’t see anything urgent re cancer but I would have thought if they took biopsies they would analyse them. Or do they do so there and then? 

I know I need to talk to my GP but I just wondered if biopsies are ever taken and then not analysed? 

Thanks,

Becky 

Up the bum is called a colonoscopy
