I't called Barretts Esophagus and means it is precancerous and can turn to cancer but I get scoped quite often to keep an eye on it. It is biopsied everytime it is scoped. This has been going on since 1996 and I am doing fine even with the inflamation and soreness.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
