A member asked:
If my pathology report only says "consistent with barrett's esophagus" does that mean non dyplasic? dr said fu 3 years egd is that a good sign?

Very good sign: Call your doctor and pathologist's office and let them know you would like clarification of whether or not there were dysplastic changes. They would certainly mention them if they were present because they change the prognosis and treatment. Make sure you follow your treatment recommendations and in 3 years hopefully you will get great news. GERD does not go away, you must treat it. Good luck.
