Hello Lynne,

I know how you feel when you think you have something serious wrong, go see your dr and ask for tests, my mum had an endoscopy and she said it was ok, she said don't be put to sleep to have it done as you feel worse after that. Be brave hun x

It is great to have some new friends who understand. Can someone answer this question? I had a full blood count/upper abdomen and back xray last week if I had cancer in my stomach would something have been noticed? Sorry very anxious.
