We are not medical professionals on this Forum, but my suggestion would be to seek a second opinion. I also would be careful about the information you get from the internet, not all sites are reputable. This is what I found from the Cleveland Clinic - This condition is considered a risk factor for cancer. It’s not cancer, but it’s a step toward it. Cells that have transformed once are more likely to transform again. If they go through another stage of transformation, known as dysplasia, they will become precancerous cells. The next stage after that will be cancer. Intestinal metaplasia may advance to stomach cancer or esophageal cancer over time in a small percentage of people. It’s still not very likely, but your healthcare provider will want to screen you regularly and take steps to prevent metaplasia from progressing if possible.
Good Luck, Sharon
