My OC was UNIQUE the Drs at Ohio Sate, WVU Hospital and in Wheeling told me. But I have wondered about the reflux too. I wore a monitor home from Pittsburgh and went back the next day for the results. My acid was higher than the meter would read and I had to have a NIssen Fundiplication . This is where they wrap 1/3 of your stomache around your esophagus. I had surgery, both sides of my tongue removed, teeth removed, I had radiation and chemo as well as after rad seed imlants in my tongue. I wonder like you if this refluz cold have caused the OC. Might possibly be asbestosis too which I have,. Congrats on your 6 years.
