Scared of stomach cancer

Hi all, thank you for welcoming me to this forum. I am just so scared right now. I am currently waiting results from endoscopy biopsy, CT scan and ultrasound. I am convinced I have advanced stomach cancer Just to give you a bit of my history, I was diagnosed with IBS 12 years ago. Since that time my symptoms changed to more diarreah. Was referred to gastrologist at one stage as had lots of wind, stomach churning etc , they did scans on both intestines and they were fine so assumed IBS. Then about 4 years ago, I felt food stick in my throat. Endoscopy showed severe oesophagitis with no cause but it cleared by with omeprazole which I have been on ever since. Fast forward a bit and I have since had my gallbladder out due to large gallstone and then last year pancreatitis with no cause. My symptoms got better after then worse, back and forth to GP. loads of blood tests , ovarian cancer, pancreatitis all clear. 

Then I had worse urgent direaher and random horrible stomach pains. My endoscopy shoes bile gastritis no obvious cause ( awaiting biopsies). Last few days I have felt awful. My whole stomach is swollen, I have severe nausea on and off in my upper

Abdomen , stomach pains, diarrhea, sometime yellow sometimes very dark, churning no appetite and fullness. My last blood tests done 2 weeks ago were fine apart from anemia. I am scared that these  latest symptoms  have come on so  quickly that it is something advanced. 

My question is prior to these latest tests , I last had an MRI in January to check on my pancreas, would this have looked at my stomach as well. Also, I know anemia can be a sign but apart from that all other blood tests have been fine. I am aware that all this points to stomach cancer but I wondered how likely it is that this is advanced? 

Thank you

  • Just a point maybe dicuse ezomeprozol with gp and have a review with gp its supposed to be better than omeprozol but it can have some nasty side effects on your tum did with my partner you may not need it now sometimes gps gust put it on repeat and we keep on taking it ive had that a few times but of caurse gp will know they just cant keep track of thousnds of patiants its nit there fault thats why they have reviews sometimes the cure can end up wirse that what they give you it for daft as it sounds 

  • Hi Paulus thank you I will do. Omeprazole which I'm on is supposed to be good for acid reflux but not do much for bile reflux so maybe I do need something else.

    Thank you for your advice x

  • Just have a word with dr about it its to stop your stomach making to much stomach acid sometimes we get acid reflux and it can be caused by not enough acid i take rannitadine but thats just me definatly worth a review methinks anyway let us know how you get on eh try not to worry  .paul
