I'm currently waiting for biopsy results taken just over 6 weeks ago. I've had problems with esophagitis, GERD, a hiatus hernia, polyps, ulcers.for some time and have connective tissue conditions. Having experienced dysphagia for a few months I was referred to the Upper GI surgeon, who requested the biopsies. The surgeon explained my symptoms could be connective tissue related, could be dysmotility related or could be cancer. Esophageal cancer is rare but with the delays due to Covid getting results back, even with the fast track to see the specialist it's now about 4 months since I started to experience dysphagia. I've already had an infection and breathing difficulties due to aspiration, having a poor immune system it can be a bit of a challenge dealing with infections. I live with pain and poor health every day so an extra problem is nothing new to me, I've adapted my diet to the swallowing issues and there's plenty of useful advice on how to manage dysphagia but I'd prefer to know what it is I'm dealing with. The not knowing isn't easy. Things are definitely taking much longer, difficult times.
