Asbestos Stomach Cancer

For two days so far I have had bad stomach and head pains. I also have feelings of nausea when I move around, and have slight heat flashes when I go outside. If these are symptoms of a stomach ulcer, can someone tell me. If they are symptoms of anything else like food poisoning, can someone message back?

…and never went to a hospital? Would they be the same as those people who are admitted to medical care straight away?

He says he used to have a small sist and he also has an ulcer…he’s only 26…he always has a hard time eating, he’s always coughing has almost choked says the food gets stuck in his chest.

How can you tell if you have Colon cancer or have a colon infection?

:l

The doctor told me about it but I couldnt understand him, cuz he is a crappy doctor and is always in a hurry from being late and having to play catch up with his patients. So what are the symptoms of a stomach infection?

A family member has stage 4 lung cancer. He went through radiation on the brain and chemotherapy. Recent scans show that the cancer has shrunk and remained stable. However, the patient has recently become very confused, thin, and weak. The doctors insist that all of his symptoms are caused by the cancer. However, we are not so convinced. He is on many medications, including several very strong pain meds. The doctors think this is the end, and that his body could shut down anytime now. Are we in denial?

Please help because my primary care doctor said she had seen it before and its very rare.

Sever heart burn can cause cancer of the esophagus but what are the symptoms that one could have before diag.?

my husband is having issues. he has had hemmroid problems before. he has never been like he was today, lots of pain in his lower back, stomach, and rectum. he refuses to go to the doctor. hardheaded.

What is the difference between the symptoms of a stomach ulcer and not just an upset stomach or indigestion?

I had very bad abdominal and rectal pain only once 3 weeks ago and then today I had bloody stool, but i had no pain. My family has no real history of stomach cancer or cancer of any kind. I feel good and healthy.

the only thing i could think of is that I had unprotected sex a week before the abdominal pain. It was only fellatio but I know you can still get something from that.

are these symptoms of stomach cancer, stomach virus, or some std? I am going to see a doctor, but i would like some kind of information now.

thanks doc

I don’t know if it’s pregnancy or STD symptoms. There’s a jabbing pain like needles pricking on the very lower of my stomach, sometimes switching to either side to the left of right of my belly button. I have been getting a localized headache as though i could pin point the exact spot on my head that comes and goes. I do NOT have breast tenderness or frequent urination like I hear are the first symptoms. I do feel a bit dizzy now and then and feel sleepy even after having coffee. My period is due next week so it’s too early to test. I don’t know if it’s PMS, STD or pregnancy. Any ideas? The abdominal pains are not like the cramping I usually experience when PMSing. It’s more of a jabbing pain like I’m being poked so that’s what concerns me if I have cancer or a growth maybe or if it’s pregnancy?

I’m 46, in good shape, not overweight, with no historry of digestive or heart disease or cancer in my family.

For several months, and increasingly in the last 2 months, I’ve had what feels a lot like heartburn/acid-reflux. About 5 weeks ago, I had a pain in my chest so bad around the esophagal/heart area it felt like I was having a heart attack!

I don’t think it’s heart-related, but I’m just saying, the pain was that severe.

I saw a family physician twice the last week of August, and he put me on nexium, for 30 days, which I just ceased taking at his recommendation, 3 days ago).
Nexium LIMITED the pain, but did not eliminate it. I still had a dull ache around the esophagal area, although lessened by Nexium. My Dr said if it was acid reflux, that would definitely have eliminated it, so that eliminates that. He also tested me for the bacteria that causes ulcers, and I tested negative for that.

I didn’t like taking nexium, it made me feel like I was on the edge of being incontinent, and I had loose bowel movements and headaches the whole month I was on it.
My doctor initially had me on Nexium for 2 months, but said if it wasn’t helping after 30 days, I might as well discontinue it.

My Dr also gave me an EKG to test for potential heart problems, and that showed no signs of heart trouble.

He also did bloodwork, and the only bad sign was my cholesterol was 238, which he advised me to get down, and I’ve almost completely given up meat and dairy to make an immediate improvement in that.

I’m 5′ 11″, 180 lbs, in good shape, with no physical problems otherwise.
I usually feel indigestion and chest pain/acid-reflux-like symptoms 2 to 3 hours after I eat, and often releive the pain/pressure by pressing on points of my upper pectoralis muscles, and burping (as quietly as I can). I think it could possibly just be gas pain, but it seems my esophagus or something else is inflamed.
I burp, quietly, sometimes 100, 200 or more times. And I don’t want to, but it seems to be the only thing that releives the pressure and pain, at least partially. Sometimes I press on my pectoralis points till my chest is black and blue (although not often) to releive the pressure.
I work as a massage therapist, and so have a very physical job. I’m in discomfort, but –so far— it does not impair my ability to work. Although sometimes I’m at the upper threshold of pain I can comfortably work with.
It often helps me to work rather than sit at my desk, because then I’m flexing my chest muscles, and that relieves and stretches it.

I also feel frequent itching/irritation around my tonsils and the back of my throat, possibly related to irritation of my esophagus.
I’ve never felt nausea, vomiting or vomiting blood, which I’ve seen are symptoms of esophagal cancer. My doctor says based on what he’s seen so far, he doesn’t think it’s heart disease or any kind of cancer. But this ongoing inflammation can’t be good.

The only other health problem I have is mild allergies, although I’m extremely allergic to mold, and that can irritate my throat and make it burn, especially when air conditioning first comes on and kicks up dust in the vents. And when I’m outside near a canal or other place where mold grows abundantly. But that is largely controllable.

I’m concerned because the chest pain has kicked up considerably in the last 6 weeks.

I’m also currently uninsured, although I make about 30,000 annually and can for the first time in my life afford insurance. I’m concerned if I see a gastro-enterologist, he’ll just say “Sorry, nothing I can do, 300 dollars please”.
Or if it is a serious medical condition, they’ll deny me coverage and say it’s a pre-existing condition.
I also have no idea how to find a good insurance provider.

Please advise me, what you think it is, and how it can be treated and eliminated. Thank you !
The most persistent symptom is chest pain, centered around the third rib, just to the left of my sternum, and tightness in my chest muscles on the same point and 2-inch radius around it.

For maybe a year, I only felt it after I ate, about 2 to 3 hours after eating. But the last 5 weeks, I feel it pretty much from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep, more inflamed when I eat.
I notice no symptoms of fatigue or sweating to indicate heart problems. And again, I had an EKG 1 month ago that indicated no heart problems.

I have been experiencing pelvic pain, pressure, and cramping in addtion to lower back pain for the past few weeks. It feels similar to the uncomfort I feel during menstruation. I am only 29 years old but seem to be experiencing several of the symptoms listed for this particular cancer. I would appreciate any information you may have on the subject. Thanks.
