Can someone help me make sense of this pathology report from my endoscopy?
Pieces of stomach lining—including the surface, foveolar, and glandular epithelium—show signs of regenerative and degenerative changes, along with a tiny focal area of dysplasia in the surface and foveolar epithelium. There are sparse lymphocytes in the lamina propria. A Giemsa stain was negative for H. pylori.
Thanks in advance!

She will. Her scintigraphy is scheduled for early August. Thanks again 🙂
Angela Wright said:It’s possible. For instance, you can see sites of former fractures or stronger impact areas. Generally speaking, scintigraphy is the most competent scan when looking at bone issues.
Thanks so much 🙂 my mom just finished radiation therapy on her pelvic area, and now she's dealing with bone pain. She also had osteoporosis before this started. Is it possible these lesions were caused by the treatment?
Hi everyone, I'm not quite sure where else to look for answers, so I figured I'd try my luck here. I was wondering, can bone lesions seen on a PET-CT actually mean something other than metastasis?
Hey everyone, quick question. I have an orthodontist appointment coming up soon to get my bite adjusted, and I am honestly terrified. I deal with a really intense gag reflex, and that specific procedure always triggers it. Last time I even tried to go through with it, I ended up fleeing the office and breaking down in tears for an hour. Does anyone have a recommendation for something to help calm my nerves, since this is full-on panic territory? My primary care doctor prescribed some Paxil, but I’ve heard that might be a bit too heavy-handed for this.
