Medical treatment.: Barrett's may turn into cancer in the future. If the pathology says you have Barrett's, then you will need regular endoscopes to ensure it does not become cancer. You will also likely get anti acid stomach medications (possibly H2 blockers and/or proton pump inhibitors). This is NOT a death sentence. This can be successfuly treated with medication. Hope this helps. Live healthy!
