Esophageal Cancer is one of the most wicked types of cancer to have.
Something to consider ... THINK YOUR HEARTBURN IS NO BIG DEAL? THINK AGAIN.
Even if your heartburn or acid reflux symptoms are under control, damage may already be done... damage to the lining of your esophagus that puts you at risk for a serious health problem. It's Barrett's Esophagus and if it is not diagnosed, monitored and treated, it can quickly lead to Esophageal Cancer. The incidence of Barrett's Esophagus has increased 400% since the mid-1970's. Esophageal Cancer is the fastest growing cancer in America.
Don't just take the little purple pill if your symptoms persist. Get the facts about acid reflux and your health by talking to board-certified gastroenterologist if you have any symptoms.
Excellent, excellent post. You loaded it with a lot of very important information. I hope a great many people read it.
Our pal Barry’s only symptom was that he was experiencing a bit of trouble swallowing. He said he was tempted to ignore it at first but ultimately decided to mention it to his wife. Good thing he did because she “instructed” him to see his doc post haste. He’s grateful today that he did.
All the best to you and to your husband! I’ll say lots of prayers for both of you.
