Barrium Swallow/Endoscopy

Post a new topicby Guest on Tue Sep 11, 2001 9:00 pm


Hello, I am 31 years old who has symptoms of a spastic throat/breast bone pain. I had a barrium swallow done with fizzy stuff to enduce air. all was normal. I am scheduled to have a endoscopy done at my request. what are the chances at my age of throat cancer or cancer in that area and would the barrium swallow be a good test to rule out cancer or no. I am very stressed out and I am wondering could the barrium swalow have missed cancer. also, i had a endoscopy done last year for something else and it just showed miner stuff that was cleared with prevacid. Would do you think things have changed that much since last endoscopy and my normal Barrium 3 months ago. Thanks you stressed out
