Tuesday Morning Update

I had the barium swallow done this morning. I have been able to get a copy of the radiology report. It sounds pretty promising. There is clearly something there that is pushing against the esophagus and the trachea slightly. It isn't blocking anything from getting through just pushing the esophagus to the side. It is smooth. The radiologist suggested that it is probably a benign cyst. Smooth is supposed to be good.

My GI doctor was not able to review the test yet. He has procedures scheduled this morning and office appts this afternoon. I am hopeful to hear from him later this evening but it may be morning.

The next step will be a further test. I could be that they do the endoscopic sonogram. But it GI nurse after a brief visit with the doctor said they may suggest viewing this through the trachea.

More information pointing to more positive signs. Now we wait for next steps.

Thanks for keeping up with this and thanks for all the prayers.
