I am concerrned I may have stomach cancer. I was in accident and emergency for another problem. They told a stomach xray and said that there was something not right referring me to a Gastrolengist. I am concerned . I did have a CT Scan of stomach in November and everything fine. The only symptom I had was a bit of acid reflux. I also had an xray on stomach in October 2022 and everything normal.
Understandable but really, it’s a bit early to start worrying.
Try to remain positive, do things to take your mind off things And relax. I used to go fishing, but maybe it’s still a bit too cold!
You may well have a bit of a wait before your appointment comes through so remain calm otherwise you’ll end up with stress related problems, like excess acid and give you more symptoms of what may be nothing to worry about.
I worried so much I gave myself tense backache and sciatica which lead to permanent nerve damage in my leg. So although I may not sound sympathetic I can understand your worry, just don’t panic!
Counting the days, making every day count.
