Stomach nausea

Hi I know this will seem very pathetic in relevance to other terrible posts on here. But on Xmas Eve , looking forward to Xmas with our sons . I cannot stop crying and full of dread I am 61 and have had nausea for months .I have been back and forth to the doc , had acid reflux tablets ( even though I have no heartburn or indigestion, just constant nausea and gnawing type discomfort) I feel tired, lost a bit of weight . So all I can think it is stomach cancer , and then it fills every thought, Google it . I have had a plain diet, not eaten passed 6pm, no alcohol or spicy food etc but nothing has stopped the daily nausea . I have taken silicol gel, herbal teas, ginger  etc etc. So all I can think all the time is that it's cancer . . Thank you for letting me post .

    Hi Poppy,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am so sorry to hear about how you feel  especially at this time of year. Have you discussed exactly how you feel with your GP and have you asked to be tested for cancer? It is far easier to get tested and then to either deal with it head on, or to be able to forget about it. The 'what ifs' are nearly always more scary than the reality and this is only made worse by consulting 'Dr Google'. 

    There could be many simpler causes for the symptoms you mention and I sincerely hope that this will turn out to be the case for you. If you are unhappy with how your GP is dealing with this, is there another doctor in the practice that you could talk to?

    Please go to see your GP after Christmas and tell them what you are thinking. There are some simple tests, which could rule out your fears.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    I wish you A Happy Christmas and hope that you can still enjoy the day with your sons.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
