ok i don't want to trigger anyone but i need to get this off my chest.
basically for the past 2 years i have had constant gastritis and probably ulcer with the h pylori bacteria. my doctor basically has done nothing for me except give me more and more stronger antacids.
i am in agony if i miss a dose of these.
the past week i was on holiday and i started getting this weird twisting pain in my stomach.
i have always had stinging and burning acid pains but never this knifelike pain.
anytime i move it is incredibly painful and the medication suddenly makes no difference which is very weird.
i genuinely think i could be facing stomach cancer now and am worried that it could be a late stage because i've had h pylori for 2 years. h pylori is a carcinogen and the #1 cause of stomach cancer.
i am going to see my doctor tonight and ask for an endoscopy which i should have been offered two years ago.
im very worried about my new symptoms and this cancer took my great grandmother when she was in her 50's.
im only 21 but i have heard people asyoung as 15 getting it.
if the biopsy comes back malignant i really don't know how I'll manage. im trying to prepare myself for the worst but i feel very anxious and full of dread.
can anyone give me some words of advice?
i am in an incredible amount of pain right now...
