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.

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.

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

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

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

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

For a few weeks, I was having problems swallowing my food and heartburn. That's what led to my cancer diagnosis.

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

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

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

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.

I was recommended for partial gastrectomy and chemotherapy, which I followed. Right now, I’m just on targeted therapy.

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