Maybe an ulcer? It's hard not to worry with symptoms like that, but what is causing them are not necessarily worst case scenario.

I'm glad you are scheduled for diagnostic tests. In the meantime, remember that worry is like a handle on a snowball- pretty useless.

Keep us posted!

What makes you think it's likely to be stomach cancer instead of something like an ulcer or gall stones?

I am so sorry ... I responded to the previous thread before reading this one. There are several reasons other than cancer that can cause these symptoms ... please try not to worry and fret too much (I know easier said than done and I should be the one to talk) this can be caused by so many other issues.... ulcers, irritation, inflammation all can be factors.... The endoscopy and colonoscopy are good to rule out any processes and they can also show whether you have any issues that can be addressed...

I will keep you in my thoughts sending positive thoughts and energy your way and wishing for a good outcome on the day of your procedures.... hoping they get to the bottom of the problem and offer you treatment options for you to get rid of/treat the issue and alleviate all your discomfort.

***hugs*** Hang in there. There are LOTS of things that could be happening. GERD, a stricture, an ulcer all come to mind. All treatable.
