Have I got cancer?

Hi back in late Feb 2020 when on holiday I felt ill nausea, cold sweats, vomiting and dizzy. When getting back to uk I had my bloods checked showed up pancras levels high was referred to hospital but consultant decided just to monitor my levels. I also noticed weight loss was 88kg before going away on my return was 84kg. In a matter of weeks went to 80kg. I have been diagnosed with gallstones on was on a waiting list but due to COVID-19 was on hold. So along side weight loss I was suffering from pain and burning lower and upper right stomach everyday. Doctors said burning on my lower right was not related to gallbladder. I then went to hospital due to increased pain was given a ct scan which showed up nothing. Had many blood checks then referred to another hospital for infection diseases which I've been going for 5 months all possible bloods checked nothing showed. I have since had my gallbladder removed 5 weeks ago pain is still there was admitted again 5 days after my op and kept in for 5 days on antibiotics as ct scan showed up some issues. I have been sent home awaiting another cr scan which would be my 4th in 2 months. My weight is now 69kg and still dropping. Even when I was back in hospital consultant said it's a mystery. So it's been nearly 6 months also to mention I also developed left elbow pain same time in Feb which is still there. 

  • Welcome to the forum Asduk although I'm sorry to read what you've been through.

    It must be very frustrating not knowing what is causing this pain but it's good that it's being investigated and fingers crossed they'll be able to figure this out soon.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi asduk.

     

    You haven't told us perhaps the three most important pieces of information: your age, sex, and where you went on holiday.

     

    Although, even with that information, it's unlikely that we'll be able to help you get a diagnosis, since (to the best of my knowledge) there are no doctors on this forum. Of course, it is always possible for your symptoms to ring a bell with someone here so it might help for you to fill in the gaps. 

  • Hi thanks I am 49 years old male. I traveled to India for 10 days. But the pain was there prior but not as bad. Also my weight loss only started when I got back. I'm reaching out to anyone who may have similar symptoms who may be able to offer some advice. What I have noticed even after my gallbladder surgery which has been 5 weeks healing process is slow skin is still yellow around wound and where I had injections in my stomach. Also noticed apart from my elbow pain and stomach I get other joint pain inc ribs which come and go.
