Got Heartburn? Don’t ignore it!

Got Heartburn? Don’t ignore it!

This hits home. Way to close to home and our hearts. Like the title says, don’t ignore these symptoms. “Grandpa Mac,” my wonderful father in law had heartburn for years. He rarely complained about it. He just did what most people do – dealt with it.

We will never know if he had Barretts or not. I do know that in July of 2010 he told us that he was having tests done and he was concerned. Esophageal cancer was the diagnosis. We got the pleasure of his wonderful company for 9 months before he departed us to join his maker.

There is a lesson to be learned. Be pro-active. Own your own health. Love those around you. You never know what the future will bring. Embrace every day, then embrace your family and friends.
