Hi, I’ve Experienced Stomach Pain, Nausea, And Difficulty Eating For

Posted on Tue, 7 Apr 2020

Question: Hi,

I’ve experienced stomach pain, nausea, and difficulty eating for two months. My doctor had me take several tests, which all (except CT scan) came back negative. My CT scan showed a mass near my stomach. My doctor has now scheduled an upper endoscopy.

I had both hernias removed when I was young, and my gall bladder removed one year ago. Should I mentally prepare for the endoscopy to show cancer?

My insurance provider is Kaiser Permanente. Apparently, I have to request a copy of my CT scan results through my doctor and Medical Records - both are out today (Sunday). I have sent an email to my doctor. So far he has just summarized by stating that a mass appears near my stomach.
