  • Ah i'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have asked. All the best to you and your family. I could tell by your comment he meant a lot to you. Good luck.

  • @bobdigi88 thank you for asking. we held his funeral service yesterday at noon. =(

  • @officialvangcreative How did it go for him in the end?

  • @bobdigi88 I wish you the best!

  • @Cindy221 I hope it went well, and I don't think you get cancer unless you have been having GERD symptoms for a prolonged time, like a few years. (my friend who is studying medicine told me this)

  • These symptoms are the same as acid reflux/gerd...

    please, if you have some or all of these symptoms, do not assume it's cancer, you will just get worked up. If you do have these and you know you have gerd/reflux, treat the reflux with hydrochloric acid tabs + pepsin. Most reflux cases are caused by too little acid, resulting in reflux, which can result in ulcers, which very well could lead to cancer!

  • @dannukesem It's hard not to worry.. plus i have been losing weight without trying.. could just be from the Gerd but who knows:(

  • @Cindy221 I wouldn't worry about it. Chances are really slim you have it.

  • @nerdymom2 thank you:) I have to take some acid medication for 3 weeks and if symptoms don't improve I will need an endoscopy

  • @Cindy221 GOOD LUCK! =)
