Could this be Bowel / Stomach Cancer

Hi Im having lots of health issues at the moment

My main concern is early June I wok up one night was violent sick and had diahorea at the same time since then I have bloating upon eating then diaroea feeling tried is constant, I have then developed a noisy stomach with belching and niggle in left ribs, I also am lacking concentration.  Finding eating difficult as I dont know what to eat going for endoscopy on 2week track - really feeling unwell and stressed - mum died of stomach cancer.

  • Hello curlytop, sorry you are going through this stress in your life.  All of us on this forum know how you feel.  We have either had (or still have) cancer ourselves or we have lost loved ones to cancer or we are caring for loved ones with cancer.  I won't tell you not to worry, because it is the most natural thing in the world to feel worried and anxious when there is something wrong with our health, but what I will say is that your symptoms could be so many things...........in fact, a very good friend of mine has Crohn's Disease and she experienced every one of the symptoms that you have described before she got her diagnosis.  Like you, she feared she had cancer, but thankfully she was wrong.  Anyway, I wish you very good luck, and I found that keeping myself as busy as possible is a very good way to distract my thoughts from worry and stress, Violet, x
