Stomach Cancer Stories

I would have persistent stomach discomfort following meals, along with occasional nausea and a tendency to feel full easily.

I was suffering from stomach pain for years, but I always attributed it to fatigue from work and brushed it off.

The first symptom I experienced was sudden fullness while eating, then later extreme stomach pain after stopping Omeprazole.

The first symptoms I had were heartburn, reflux and having a full stomach. I was also feeling full quickly and bloated after eating.

I had one symptom only: difficulty swallowing. I was very fit and knew that the new onset of difficulty swallowing was suspicious.

3 years before diagnosis I had experienced mild difficulty swallowing. I had an endoscopy and they found intestinal metaplasia.

The main symptom that prompted me to seek medical attention was bad stomach cramps.

A while ago, I was constantly feeling tired and my body was hurting. On top of that, I had heartburn and pain in the region of my stomach and breastbone.

After everything, I now feel optimistic and inspired. I am thankful and relieved that I was able to overcome the difficulties of cancer treatment.

After some changes in my treatment plan, I’m now only on radiotherapy. I’ve also tried traditional Chinese medication as alternative treatment.

I had a series of digestive upsets and a persistent ache in my stomach. A subsequent endoscopy picked up an ulcer.

A few years ago, I consulted a doctor regarding pain in my stomach and heartburn.

To all cancer patients: Do not give up. Fight your fears and maintain a positive mindset. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

What led to my diagnosis was on and off abdominal pain.

The most challenging part of being a cancer survivor is learning to get on with life and realize life goes on.

Having cancer has made me realize that health is important. I plan to stay healthy, eat healthy, get regular medical checks and prioritize my health in every way.
