I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus. My research showed that this could develop into esophageal cancer. I was worried that I would die. I spoke with an expert and was reasurred that the chances of my developing cancer were rare especially if I used the medication as prescribed and followed a healthy lifestyle (no smoking, healthy weight, exercised) I can control this condition and expect to live a normal life. He also suggested that I be sure to have regular endoscopies to check for any changes in the cells of my esophagus.
