Hi newbie, I'm new here, too. My husband was dx'd in December. He
had a bad case of constipation that forced him togo to the Dr. They
decided to so an endoscopy, too. Well, the rest is history...

Don't know what to tell you, except to demand the best Dr for your
care. Don't know where you live, but hope you have a research center
nearby...
