Esophageal
How painful is esophageal cancer?
I was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) recently. Right now, I am having a discomfort in my throat. It’s not painful, but I feel as if something is wrong. I don’t have any difficulty swallowing and not experiencing weight loss, though. In fact, I am gaining weight.
I am also a hypochondriac and I am really worried if this is esophageal cancer, as I have read somewhere that people with GERD have a major risk of esophageal cancer. I’m 17, by the way.
Help?
Yes -its true that GERD puts people at risk of this type of cancer, but it takes decades to develop. There’s about a one-in-million chance of someone 17 years old getting esophageal cancer. You don’t have any symptoms of cancer except where they overlap with GERD.
