I had an endoscopy 10 days ago and was told i have barretts. I have regular scopes. Every 2 years due to my hernia so i was not overly concerned as i knew it was more recent development. They took some biopsy and told me to ring my gp in a couple of weeks to check the results. Again not worried. However i recieved an appointment in the post yesterday for a specialist clinic in the hospital in 4 days. Seeing as it took 5 months to get an appointment for the scope Should i now be worried as this was not planned.
Are you on any kind of PPIs? Start taking them if not..
Hi.... please don't worry...... u have been having scopes regularly...... it wount anything sinister.... really.
I am on 30mg of lanzoprazole. Have been taking for nealry 10 years. I have been told to double the dose for a month until the results of the biopsy were reviewed.
