Since September-ish, October-ish, I have had on and off stomach pain.
the first...very sharp piercing pain that would only be alleviated after two week course of an omeprazole qD
the second...sharp pain but feeling some back pain as well--now a course of omeprazole BID, stool and blood samples for possible gallbladder, pancreatitis or hpylori.
the third...sharp pain, definite back pain, nausea, occasional dizziness--omeprazole BID, endoscopy and CT scan.
Concerns of GERD, mass, cancers now arise from the doctors which is always so scary. Especially with pancreatic cancer.
If I had a skewer that poked straight through my upper stomach to back, that is where all my pain is. The GI doc said, that's what his next question was, the location of the pain. He said I described exactly where the pancreas is and it didn't help that I also had blood sugar issues which is what the pancreas controls.
Alex and I know too well of the dismal outcomes pancreatic cancer brings since it took his mom too soon.
I pray that lightning doesn't strike twice...
