HI
Can i ask did most people have H pylori prior to being diagnosed? Is this a symptom of gastric/stomach cancer?
What were your signs? I cant breathe into the right side my chest is agony and now been told I have this, 1 weeks strong anti biotics then the camera test will be done if it doesn't clear
Hi. I was diagnosed with H Pylori in Dec 23 by my GP and given antibiotics. The feeling I had of my stomach being at war with itself when empty went away however I continued to have acid reflux and pain if I ate a large meal.
I had an endoscopy in March and was diagnosed with Linitis Plastica, a rare form of stomach cancer. I also had an ulcer at the time.
I don’t know much about the linkage or there is one (as none of the doctors have mentioned) however I’m happy to chat further.
Thank you for your reply, Im reading there is a conection to stomach cancer, im on the anti biotics atm but the worry is that my partner had esophageal cancer and I seem to have everything he had. Hoping it wont be long for the camera test again. Just thought I would ask some questions so I can be prepared. Maybe worry too much
