Dear Lord,
Praises + thanks that yesterday's endoscopy showed no new cancerous nodules in the esophagus! The goal is to do an ablation of abnormal (Barrett's) tissue that lines most of the esophagus. The doc was unable to do an ablation yesterday d/t 2 strictures, which he dilated. Everything has to be the same circumference in order to do an ablation. I pray that he can do one in 4 weeks. By burning off the abnormal tissue, the risk of recurrent cancer is reduced.
Thanks again, Lord!
