Barrett's esophagus prognosis ? any sufferers help me?

Have frequent follow ups with your gastro. He will be alerted to any changes. I worked for gastro for 13 years. We had many patients with Barrett's. Only one developed into cancer that whole time. Do what the doctor tells you, take your meds and quit worrying. Stress can cause acid production which is not good with your diagnosis.
