Is Duodenal Cancer, Related With Abdominal Pain?

acute abdominal pain between the breastbone and bellybottom. Starts 2 hours after I eat and feel some relieve when I eat. Chronic use of nsaids, but stopped using them 2 months ago. On nexium 40 mg PO BID, Carafate, zantac, Mylanta. Had hysterectomy 4 weeks ago. Can this be a reactive gastritis or a duodenal ulcer? No rectal blood, no bloody stools. Thanks.
