He wants to burn the Barrett's? Why, do you have dysplasia? if not I don't see the reason for burning it yet. Calm down, Barrett's is not so serious as you think it is, read the new studies...

They can work wonders with Barrett's nowadays and you will always be monitored. Try not to worry - easier said than done, I know. Your grandmother wouldn't have had the monitoring and preventative procedures but you will. Take care and try to relax.
