Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I just had an EGD with a biopsy and polypectomy. It showed a hiatal hernia 2 cm. I am attaching photos. The doctor took biopsies and said there was no cancer. I have had breast cancer in the past. I am having pain in my chest when I swallow, and my sternum today. Will that subside? Is it from the bleeding? And taking Pantoprazole now. Can you recommend the best pill to take for this pain? And what should I take for this problem, what should I eat? Can you assure me there is no cancer?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the reports of your endoscopy (attachment removed to protect patient identity), as per the endoscopy you do not have any evidence of cancer. Have you received the reports of biopsy? If so, please forward it. The medications you have taken are appropriate.
