Hi! Welcome to the group. I've had Barrett's for a little over a year now, and schedule my endoscopies religiously. Ralph can probably anser your question better than I can, but I would think that a lot depends on the other ways you care for yourself instead of just the endoscopies. What medicines do you take? Have you changed your eating habits? Feel free to browse around in our forums. There are lots of diet and health tips, and there is also a procedure some doctors do called a BARRX ablation. Some members have already had it and can tell you more about it, but it's a procedure to clean out the Barrett's segment from your esophagus. I personally haven't had it done yet because my biopsies have shown no signs of dysplasia. Any more questions, feel free to ask. Hugs, Muriel |
" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."
