Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I thought I would let everyone know that I talked them into giving me the pathology report early!!! It reads: Benign Squamous and gastric type mucosa displaying mile to moderate chronic inflammation and focal mild acute inflammation, focal specialized intestinal metaplasia is noted, no dysplasia nor malignancy is identified. So in a nut shell, I do have Barrett’s but it is not serious yet!!!! WOO HOO good news for a change. I have still sent the report and pictures to Dr. Achkar though because I want his opinion due to my medical and family history!! So we will see where I go from here!! Thanks to everyone for your support…its so great to have a family that truly understands!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Dear , I am glad that you wrote the "in a nut shell" bit - I could not understand the medical diagnosis! It sounds as if things are not quite as bad as you feared, and that there is hope for a solution to this. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that things improve. You are right - we do understand.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ann, LOL yeah I had to look part of it up!! I can only hope that the prevacid will help reduce the inflammation and try to reverse the Barrett’s to some degree. I’m sure I will have to go back in for another endoscopy in the future to check and make sure things are working!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi Glad to hear that the news was not as bad as you had first thought although it still another medical issue to deal with. I will keep my fingers crossed that the meds give you some relief and can reverse some of the damage and hold off that ectomy for a good while yet. How long had it been since you had your last endoscopy? Pippa > > From: C.
