Idk what's going on. 😐
Greetings to all, I wish you nothing but wisdom, knowledge and strength to overcome this challenge that presents to us on our daily basis. The obstacles that we must endure and sharing our experiences hopefully can help someone detect it on time.
My name is Ignacio, I am 43 yrs old and for the past 2 yrs I have not been feeling well.
2 colonoscopy and a endoscopy within 10 months apart. I am currently going through these gastric reflux episodes that can last over a 7 day period.
I reached out to my Dr a couple of minutes ago and my heart led me here.
Can someone share their first episode and how was it. I can't get through my Doctors.
I am tired and it's taking a big toll in my personal life.

@nachdayz can you provide additional information?
What is your current diagnosis? Have you started discussions about treatment options? Do you have a significant other who can help you work-through the issues that you are encountering and act as a patient-advocate for you? Are there specific issues/questions that you have which other patients may be able to answer - recognizing that any medical questions ought to be addressed by your healthcare physicians?
Best,

1 ReactionI had been unable to eat for about 6 weeks and then developed intense pain in the lower left side of my abdomen. My PCP was trying to negotiate a CT scan with the insurance company but rather than wait to see how that turned out, I went to the local Emergency Dept and they did a CT which diagnosed my Pancreatic Cancer. You have more treatment options and better outcomes when it is found at an early stage. Hope you find some answers.
