Foundations Built From Acid Reflux Patient

She's not going to live long. At most, 4-5 years. Doctor ask for us to prepare for anything bad to happen at anytime. No one could take in such a news and live happily the next day. She had a very chronic acid reflux. Doctor said she had acid bubbling up from the stomach into the esophagus, a condition called gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The most serious consequence of chronic acid reflux is esophageal cancer. About ten percent of patients with long-standing acid reflux develop changes in the swallowing tube that increase the risk of developing adenocarcinoma, a deadly cancer with a 5-year survival rate of less than fifteen percent. The condition is called "Barrett's esophagus. "Fortunately, only about one in 200 patients with Barrett's esophagus develops cancer each year. And over the last year a treatment called radiofrequency ablation has been found to be extremely effective in treating Barrett's esophagus that is starting to show signs that it may turn into cancer. 

Anyone would be heartbroken. How would I live? What should I do? I don't have much time left. I have so many things left to do. She cried all night and the next day, she became a different person. She became someone I didn't know in a good way. She's way stronger than anyone in the world. She came up with bucket list of the things to do. She knew that she wouldn't be able to do all of that so she put numbers in front as to indicate the priority. I didn't know what to say but to embrace her wishes. She came up with loads of foundations which has helped countless people before she left the world. Usually, people would travel or spend time with their families before their time's up. But she's different. She decided to dedicate her life to everyone around her.
