Endoscopy Biopsies

Hi
So today I had an Endoscopy. From referal to completion today I waited 2 weeks. This is due also to a weight loss of 3.5St in a matter of months.
I had an ultrasound scan of my liver a few weeks ago which showed a 1cm mass. I then had a CT scan 3 weeks ago to look closer at it.

The results of the CT scan came back yesterday and it appears the mass has vanished?? but I now have an MRI on the Liver in 3 months time to monitor it.

Today I had my endoscopy, Sedated, and felt everything.
I had 10 Biopsies taken??
The report stated I had a lot of bile in the stomach, the word Gastris? was also mentioned. The lining of the stomach was very red?
I had
Upper Oesophagus 4 x Random biopsies?
Lower Oesophagus 1 x Biopsy? This was described as a nodule?
Site C Stomach?2 random biopsys?
side D 3 Biopsys I think these maybe for Ceoliac

Diagnosis
OESOPHAGUS Tiny Nodule at GOJ
STOMACH Non erosive Gastritis
DUODENUM Normal

Advice/comments

Excess bile in stomach with mild hastritis
Esophageal biopsies to exclude esinophilic esophagitis

Does this make any sense to anyone, I'm still suffering from the effects of the sedation

If anyone has had any shared experiences then I would love to hear how you got on.

Thanks for reading

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Snaggybird.

    It sounds like you've been through a marathon of tests and I'm sure these were not exactly fun! But I'm glad to hear that the mass initially found in your liver was no longer there this last time they scanned it.

    While we can't say what these tests mean, I hope you will soon get to chat with others here who will share their experiences with you.

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that if you want to give our cancer nurses a call and ask them some questions, they are available on this number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    Take good care of yourself, Snaggybird.

    Best wishes,
