I was surprised and disappointed when my doctor told me yesterday that she would NOT under any circumstances allow me to have a Mickey button until she was through with my dilations. I asked her how long that would be and she said she did not know-could be years. I am getting a second opinion but she is supposed to be the best around doing a CARD dilation. She has to come from above and below because my esophagus is so narrow (almost closed). I have been reading about the TREAD procedure. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks everyone for your input and help.
