My husband died very quickly after finally getting diagnosed with Espohageous Cancer. After over a year of many doctors, ENT Specialist and not one suggested this test. If this simple painless test had been done on my husband a year earlier he would have been saved. I was the one who got him the appointment to have this test, the doctor put that tube down his throat and within minutes pulled it out and told him he was going to die. I thought this is another goofy doctor but 5 months later I buried my love. Now I am on a crusade to help others, don't keep taking antacids, Nexium, Rolaids if you have symptoms hearburn, gerd,acid reflux,coughing or constant clearing of your throat just have the test. It may save your life.
I am fighting this for the most wonderful man ever and he was my life, now it is gone.
HAVE THE TEST IT IS WORTH YOUR LIFE.
