Pain In Abdomen With Acid Reflux. Under Remission From Lung Cancer Treatment. PET Scan Came Clear. Cancer?
Hi,I have been a lung cancer patient for over ten years with initial prognosis of fatality due to 7 and 1/2 centimeter tumor and metatisis of media stynim. I am currently in remission after ten years of treatment and have for the past two years, been suffering with pain in area of pancreas going thru to back. Constant acid reflux is a concern as my mother died of esophegeal cancer. My oncologist did a pet scan and said my pancreas looked "fine"; however, the pain and acid reflux continue unabated. My ability to eat is limited to only certain foods such as Ensure and bread foods and cereals. Even then, the problem continues, but I do not think it is a stomach problem. Do you think there is a possibility it is a stomach problem and should I see a gastroenterologist? I am a female 68 yrs. old.
Definately see gastroenterologist. as there is p/hof malignancy,f/h of oesocancer...and persistent symptoms suggest that there may b secondaries in stomach/oesophagus...or in lymphnodes..which may not hv been picked on PET CT.
