I was DXd in 2014 with uterine cancer with adenocarcinoma, early grade/stage.  The only treatment I needed at the time was a hysterecomy, but right before my surgery my GYN Oncologist wanted me to have an upper GI scope bc I had a few episodes of trouble swallowing food in my past since 2009, not frequent, but a few times.  My upper GI endoscopy in 2014 showed that I had significant symptoms of reflux and a hiatal hernia so they prescribed Omeprazole.  I am now having frequent episodes of trouble swallowing food and it seems more severe and painful where I have to spit it out as its so painful and just wont "go down".   I do have some soreness in the upper chest area, but it's very slight.  I have had stomach aches which come and go.  I think I will end up just requesting an upper endoscopy soon.  

I had posted earlier without giving enough information and am wondering if anyone can relate to this story?  I will take the time to read the posts here on this site regarding EC.  I had posted before over on the uterine cancer board.  I wish you all the best of luck and healing.  Thanks for reading my post.
