Hello,
Pain which is persisting for months beneath rib cage without any other symptoms is unlikely be due to relapse of cancer. It may be due to gastritis related to your alcohol consumption of due to muscle weakness. However, i will still suggest to undergo a CT scan for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
