Avatar n tn Have the doctor do a biopsy of your stomach. There is a gastric cancer called lintis plastica its hard to diagnos mainly because doctors consider it rare and rarely look for it. your symptoms sound similar to my mothers and her physicians missed it and the end result was not good. Do your own research and don't let them schedule your follow up appointments 4-6 weeks later. Thats my advice. You can't rely on the doctor to search for conditions that are not obvious.
Avatar n tn In Sept 2008, I had a full gastrectomy (REMOVAL OF WHOLE STOMACH) after being diagnosed with linitus plastica stomach cancer. My cancer is either dormant in the abdominal lymph area or gone! However, I need to gain weight urgently and to date I haven't found anybody who seems to understand how to tackle this. I am 5'11" and now weigh ONLY 113 lbs.which is DANGEROUSLY SKINNY!!!! Food is very hard to get down and most of what I am eating is blended up.

Avatar m tn This is the copy from Wikipedia. Peyronie's Disease (also known as "Induratio penis plastica"[1], or more recently Chronic Inflammation of the Tunica Albuginea (CITA), is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques[2] in the soft tissue of the penis affecting up to 10% of men.
Avatar n tn Not necessarily. Stomach cancer can often have negative blood work (except you may be anemic). However it is much much more likely that you have something like an ulcer causing the black specks. Stomach cancer is very rare! How old are you?
Avatar f tn Six months is a too long time and you should have got evaluated by now. Stomach diseses, gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, stomach cancer all can lead to nausea and loss of appetite. Do you also have yellowish discoloration of your skin, eyes and urine? That could be due to gall bladder disease or hepatitis. Eat small healthy meals. You need to consult a primary care physician. He will further refer you to a gastroenterologist.

60505 tn?1313946644 "I am a 46yo (white) female, I have been checking statistics for stomach cancer and I do see as a female and with my race the odds are very low. For the last 2 months I have been getting stomach "pain" more uncomfortable than pain,along with a feeling of "fullness" sometimes with a sense of nausea. No weight loss. I would say I have been getting indigestion and reflux for as long as I can remember.
Avatar f tn I also probably should have mentioned that we have a family history of stomach cancer and stomach ulcers, which is also what got me to thinking this. My diet, when I do manage to get it down, is good - no worries there. I do not smoke, and drink alcohol occasionally. My specialist told me about an endoscopy but he said he didn't think I needed one, so instead, told me to wait. Do you really think it's worthwhile going back?
Avatar m tn I am very disturbed that the discomfort is not going. I have made 4 trips to the doctor and he is not worried. Do I have stomach cancer ? what should I do now ?
Avatar m tn I'm 27 years old, not married and I've never had sex (please don't make funny comments about that, each one has his own beliefs). I'm having this problem for more than 1 year. I have extremely sensitive skin on my penis shaft (about 2 cm around circumcision scar, above and below). It is very smooth, thin and different than the rest of the shaft, looks more light in color. I didn't used to see blood capillaries in this area but now they are visible.
Avatar m tn La jeringa no tenia rastros visibles de sangre,y la aguja estaba con la tapa plastica. Entonces mi consulta es, estuve en riesgo ante esa situacion, o es normal que las enfermeras tengan preparadas asi las jeringas. Se han reportado casos, de transmision del virus en laboratorios u hospitales de esta forma? Digamos una reutilizacion de la jeringa.
Avatar n tn Then they did a scope in her stomach that showed cancer. So they determined the cancer started in her stomach and was a rare fast growing agressive cancer already in stage 4. She had heavy rounds of Chemotherapy for a few months and they did another CAT and MRI ( idk why since they couldn't see her type of cancer and tumors from the MRI and CAT previously) they did not see any tumors in these scans after chemo but she was getting worse and vomiting 7 or more times daily.
Avatar n tn That's hard to answer. At your age stomach cancer is INCREDIBLY rare. Just try to get it out of your mind.
Avatar n tn Vague but persistent gastrointestinal complaints such as gas, nausea, indigestion. Frequency and/or urgency of urination. Any unexplained change in bowel habits. Abnormal postmenopausal bleeding. Weight gain or loss. Abdominal swelling and/or pain; bloating and/or a feeling of fullness. Pain during intercourse. If vague symptoms persist longer than 4-6 weeks, insist on a thorough rectovaginal examination.

The exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown, but factors such as gender, genetics, geography, medical issues including H.

Avatar f tn suddnly they found cancer in his lymh nodes and ssaid that it had to have been somewhere else first i honestly believe that it was stomach cancer or throat cancer from the h-pyloi this scares me as i still have no ins.
Avatar n tn I'm no doctor (but married to one hehe!) Since I'm scared of cancer myself, I always think stuff like that is cancer, but my wife advised me that cancer rarely hurts. If you're not having any other significant symptoms, I'd say hernia probably. (I don't think fat deposits that big (or rigid) form in that area.) So I'd say hernia is most likely. Especially since you lift very heavy weights.
Avatar f tn Pain always in the same two spots. Worried about stomach cancer because it has gone untreated until now, for like 5 years.

Avatar n tn They did tell us that the polyps are not the kind that cause cancer. However he has a family history of cancer, mom dad and brother have all died from cancer. There are so many of the polyps that cover the entire stomach, the surgeon and gastroenterologist both feel it would be to dangerous for his to have the total stomach removed. He is having a hard time eating because not matter how little or how much he feels nausea and full, he is tired all the time and is anemic off and on.
