Lung/bowl/colon cancer

Hi guys, I've seen a lot of posts on here that have been so helpful and it's really nice to know that I'm not alone with what I'm feeling! I've currently been suffering with stomach pain. Left and right above my hips, underneath the bottom half of my ribs. I have also been getting blood in my stool (I do suffer from piles) and I've just had a stool test that came up negative. My stomach has now started to rumble constantly and they are saying this is to do with IBS. In the last few weeks I've developed a pain on my back, just underneath my shoulder blade next to my spine. I've also developed a cough. Well it's not exactly a cough, it's like I have to clear my throat constantly and I've got a horrible taste in my throat/mouth, like metalick taste. I just wondered if anyone else is having the same kind of problem? I can't sleep at night with worry and all the doctors/wife say is that it's in my head?! I know my body and I know something is not right! 

  • Morning , 

    I'm on here scraping through all the posts, looking for connections on how I'm feeling... 

    Like yours it started 8 months ago, it started with chest pains which they think was damage to the heart,  but a month later  with stomach issues,  nausea and sickly pains under the left arm pit, then around neck and shoulder.. i also started getting the taste of metal..

    I've had all ct scans , ultrasounds and camera.. they found a issue with stomachbut all wo do with GERD,I take tablets every morning for accid reflux,( never had Heartburn)  but can see a pattern with fatty food it causes discomfort early morning from sleeping  

    Doctors said nothing nasty and I want to believe them  but still like you concerned something is wrong somewhere..

    I couldn't sleep and concentrate,  getting depressed, times I've wanted to not be here,   more so that doctors have made me feel that its me, but they can't tell me what it could be.. I do feel the stomach is what they said so keep pushing .. I felt like GERD was there way to get rid of me..but I'm seeing a pattern with that... just doesn't explain the other stuff....

     

    Hope you get sorted...its a scarey roundabout when your mind runs away with thoughts..

  • It's so unnerving when you don't know what the problem is and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Like I say, the stool test came up negative, so I suppose that's a plus? I just want to get the rest of these tests done, just to give me peace of mind. I've my 3 year old girl and I certainly don't want to leave her without a dad! It's a real pain that you can't just book an appointment anymore and now have to call at 8am, if you call in time, you will get an appointment, if you don't, try again tomorrow! It's so silly!! 

  • Yeh exactly,  that's 1 of the issues also. When you have to see a locam, then they have wrong info. You feel like you waste an appointment going through the information.. definitely a positive sign and that's how try and think with the results I have had.  I stopped taking omezaprole thinking it was nothing to do with it. But then noticed the pains came back everything while sleeping....

    Try seeing if you can access your doctors one,  and send a email.. takes a little longer for them reply buy a chance to actually ask your questions & raise your concerns.  I know your feeling thinking about family.. all I can say after 8 months, is try not get to stressed like I did, if only I could turn back the clock and not let it grab hold off me ...

    Hopefully you will get some answers,

  • I must say I do feel a lot better about the whole situation now. I think just talking to someone who is or has gone through a similar situation, really does help.

    I really do appreciate you comment on my post and sending an email might just be the answer, this way I can take my time and get access exactly what is going through my mind. 

    Thanks again
