Hello Smoky1970 and thanks for your post,
I can understand that it can be unsettling to be told that you have a mass on your stomach. The doctors now need to find out what this mass is. I am afraid that it is a case of waiting to see the doctors at your appointment. They may arrange further tests and maybe a biopsy to find out more information.
One of the tests they may do is a gastroscopy which will enable the doctors to visually look at your oesophagus and stomach and perhaps take some biopsies.
I do hope that you know more soon. Try and take one day at a time and don't overthink it for now.
If you would like to talk any of this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.
The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
All the best,
Catherine
I got endoscopy tomorrow 9.30
Hello, and thank you for coming back to us.

Sarah.
