Skyline On Fire

Not posted here for a year or maybe two, I think I last posted here when I convinced myself for 2 months that I had a brain tumor due to tension headaches, around this time, 2 years ago. That fear has gone after a visit to a consultant etc...
Now... Its my abdomen/stomach. Symptoms and history...
- At the start of this year, Id say around febuary, I had a sudden onset of stabbing pain in my abdomen when I moved around, walked etc... It lasted around 3 days and was gone within 5. The same thing happened in around... Late may. Again, went after 4-5 days ish. Same thing happened again Mid september. Didnt feel anywhere near as long or bad this time, was over in 2-3 days. Nothing since then.
- From the start of November up until the end of november, i had these wierd pains and feelings in my abdomen, incredibly mild but I knew they were there, and obviously it was terrifying me. had a feel around my abdomen (Im skinny) and I could feel a swelling or something. I feel all around there and Its essentially tubes of some sorts, intestines or something I dont know, but they arent lumps or anything, they feel like just regular parts of my body and i have no idea if they've always been so prominent, but obviously its some sort of horrid death disease to me.
- Stomach growls a lot nowadays, my diet isnt too great as Im worried so much, always hungry though no loss of appetite. General pains in abdomen/stomach every now and then, not as bad as november though (i must stress november was very mild, as is now) but to me its all just overwhelming and I feel on the brink of collapse.
Stomach cancer or... Just cancer. Thats my worry. My toilet activities are fine, no constipation, diaohrrea, bloody or anything out of the ordinary. Im living on my own now, finally beat my anxiety that kept me close to my parents for the first 20 years of my life, moved to the other side of the country and everything was going good until this.
My dad, who told me from the start of the brain tumor fiasco that it was nothing, says the same now. His logic makes sense, I know it does. But it doesnt make it any less scary as you are all aware!
If it was something serious, it would be far worse than this wouldnt it. Not to mention, id have many more symptoms, etc etc etc. I'm basically looking for reassurance, something I vowed not to do but I'm honestly just close to collapse now. My symptoms all sound like IBS to be honest, but I dont know about that either. I just want to know im not dying.
I always feel like I'll be dead this time next year, just like I did with the tension headaches 2 years ago. It's hell and I'm terrified.
Any advice, or anything, would mean a lot.
Thank you.
