I have been having these abdominal pains on/off for the past 2 years, the pain is crampy and its about 2 inches above my belly button. I have also had nausea, coughing up black tar like stuff, weight loss, palness, lowblood pressure, anmemia, lack of appetite and constpitaion. I went to the walk in clinic and they thought I had an ulcer and gave me some meds. My family doctor was informed of what was going on and she wanted me to come in for a check up. I came in for a check up 2 weeks ago and she told me that an ulcer doesnt take 2 years to heal and she scheduled me for an upper gi, ultra sound, chest ex ray and blood work. I was wondering if this is stomach cancer, im praying its not though.

this is something which you should go and get checked... it may not be stomach cancer but it may be something equally dangeorus which may need immediate treatment. these symptoms can also be an indication of mesothelioma if you are a middle aged person and you have inhaled asbestos in the past 20 years.

if you think, this is the case, then you need immediate treatment and need to see a doctor.
