Stomach cancer worried

Hi

2 weeks ago after finishing a meal I felt bloated which has continued ever since

Had a colon poo test which was negative so went to the docs who checked my tummy and said all felt normal but to ease my worries has referred me for a scan to check all my organs I had a bad car crash in July so have been suffering from a really bad back pain which I also have a mri scan booked in for

My doctor has started me on lansoprazole and has said if I don't feel better in a few weeks he will put me in for a camera down into my stomach I'm so worried 

My wife is saying to ring doctor and try and bring the camera into my stomach just wondering if anyone has any thoughts

Thank you

  • Hi Ian31070,

    I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing this discomfort. It's good that you've been to the doctor about this and that they are looking into it.

    It sounds like it would be good to follow their guidance and to get back in touch if the difficulties continue. However of course if you have any additional concerns or questions, then do give your doctor a call sooner.

    Wishing you all the best,
