Hi, I am waiting on more blood tests and ultrascan 26th July. In the last few days it is extremely difficult to eat anything without pain and feeling sick. I can only have small sips of water, not drinking enough. I just want to know what other drinks i can try - am told my symptons are possibly stomach cancer and have now had 6 months of acid reflux.

  • Hello h_t

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health problems and that over the past few days things have gotten worse. It's understandable that you may be feeling worried. 

    As you've noticed that things have gotten much worse over the last few days please do get in touch with 111 or your GP out-of-hours service for some advice and guidance. It may be that they're able to arrange for you to see someone or give you something to help manage the pain and nausea. It is important that you stay hydrated especially with the current heatwave we're experiencing. 

    I hope that things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
