Suffering From Severe Weight Loss And Abdominal Pain. Blood Test Indicating Cancer. Solution For Pain?
My spouse (wife) has the recurring symptoms that the physicians here in Yuma, Az cannot diagnose. She has had numerous CT, MRI , X-Ray and blood tests. One blood test came back with a cancer indicator but it could not required be reproduced. Symptoms include extreme weight loss , no desire to eat, severe abdominal pains, which required hospitalization for pain management .
Sometimes it is very hard to find the source of the cancer. Even if blood levels and symptoms does indicate it. Your wife should have additional tests like colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy as neither MRI or CT does not cover this area. In some cases, PET scan can show the place of the cancer.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
