Thanks for sharing, and glad things are going well.

I would say, though, regardless of age you should get it checked out. (not just if you're 40+)

I was diagnosed with stomach cancer aged 33, which is highly abnormal, but... it happened.

Ah, yes. Guess I should have expanded on that a bit. If you've got chronic acid reflux, the ongoing symptoms of that aren't much different from the initial symptoms of esophageal cancer...even if you're being treated. So, suggesting that you ask about it specifically if you're 40+.

Anything unusual or new, though, yes, don't wait on that.

Congrats!
