no cancer!
did the barium swallow today. I thought it a little unlikely that I might have esophageal cancer. but since the outcome is entirely grim I was very concerned. the equipment at out regional hospital was really quite good. but the first thing they did was take a number of chest exrays and then redid some of them. Debbie then told me she was taking them to dr. neal to see what barium studies needed to be done. I of course figured that she had seen tumors in the x ray and if so why continue. she was gone about10 min. a very long 10 min. for david. and when she came back I asked here if she had seen tumors and she said no she simply wanted to find the tests that dr. neal would suggest. it was ok after that and in fact he could see nothing in the tests that suggested any abnormal swallowing difficulty.
I do note that this afternoon I am swallowing much easier would you believe! I am clearly my own worst enemy. but I can only give much thanks to the one who controls the strings of this universe that things turned out as they did!
thank you all very much for your comments on my previous post.
