Sad news biopsies came back positive for pre-cancer cells. Had Ct & Pet-can of abdomen . They did not corrolate. Scheduled for another endoscopy and laporoscopy next week. Keep me in prayer. Thanks for support.
So sorry to hear that. You've been through so much. Take care. One day at a time.

Had endoscopy , showed my stomach is very irritated. I am really dehydrated. Have to have a liter of IV fluids for the next five days. Return to doctor on Thursday.
Goodness! Barbra, I hope you feel better soon. So sorry you're suffering tummy troubles and dehydration!

Saw the heart doctor yesterday, everything looks good. EKG shows NSR, with an occasional PVC. Incision healing well,no signs of infection. Cleared for endoscopy on Monday. Lost 1lb. Both doctors think it may be gastroparesis. Hoping it can be cured.
