24 male here. Been struggling with HA for 6 years now. A year ago, I was worried about pancreatic cancer - had weird stools, different pains in upper left abdomen and stomach etc. I went for a private MRI scan which was clear. Suddenly, all the symptoms went away. Pancreatic cancer was checked off of my list, and I lived life happily.
About half a year ago, I developed a gastric/esophagus cancer scare, so I just bit the bullet and went for a private upper GI scan. It showed that I have chronic gastritis and GERD. Fair enough, calmed me down.
About two weeks ago, I started to itch. I'm an allergic, and a year ago I had the same problem in April/May, I was really itchy and I attributed it to pollen in the air. Anyways, I was itching for the last two weeks and of course, everyone who had PC anxiety knows that generalized itching could be a sign of obstructive jaundice due to a tumor, so I kept checking my eyes, urine and stool for any color changes, but there were none. The itch is gone now, however I developed intermittent, dull pains in my upper left abdomen and they sometimes radiate to my back and left shoulderblade.
Here's my question - is there a chance that a symptomatic cancer developed a year after a clear MRI in a 24 year old person? I mean, there probably is a chance, but I need some reassurance. I'm falling down the rabbit hole again.
