Hi all, long story short.....I had H Pylori almost two years ago and my stomach hasn't been right since, the HP came back within ten months now I've been referred for an endoscopy. I am beyond terrified :weep:
I'm scared of the procedure yes but more terrified of them finding cancer....especially as I've just lost two friends to stomach cancer, both in their 40's.
I have no other symptoms other than heartburn and/or acid reflux, belching. My ferritin is low but my diet doesn't contain a lot of iron, no other blood tests were abnormal.
If it was something sinister do you think I'd have more symptoms than this? I'm now in a complete state of panic. I'm 41 and feel 90 today.
Thank you for reading xx
