Barretts Esophagus with Dysplasia

All my life I have had problems with my stomach. The doctors at one time thought I had an ulcer, but if I did it went away. I have been on one medication after another for heartburn. Finally they decided to scope my stomach and found a spot in my esophagus. They say I have barretts esophagus with dysplasia. It is not cancerous, but precancerous.

In the last few weeks it has been painful to eat. The pain radiates to my back and I have been feeling nauseous when I lay on my side. So I am getting my stomach scoped again to see what is happening inside. The procedure will be on Friday morning. I am a little worried, my Grandfather died of esophageal cancer, and I grew up in the land of fried foods. Which is one of the worst foods for people with stomach issues.
