Can Someone Help Explain These?

Hi,

I am 40 years old, and have just had a CAT Scan with contrast for abdominal pain. I just received my test results back and need to have an upper GI series.

My report reads this:

Focal Mucosal thickening in the body to distal antrum of the stomach may represent underlying mural lesion.

Has anybody had a report that read this and does it represent something serioud like stomach cancer.

I have crampy pain in my abdominal...alternating constipation/diareah, very tired lately, kinda weak feeling, and my appetite has decreased. Sometimes I get nausea.

I have appt on June 7th for a gastro DR and waiting is horrible. Just thought someone else might know about these medical term reports. Thanks so much!

I can't explain this. I have uterine sarcoma, rare type of incurable cancer. I do use this webiste to interpret my scans. I hope it helps you.

You should go to Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, if possible. If it takes too long to get admitted through regular chanels pack your suitcase and go to the emergency room with your records. Let them know that you are not keeping enough food down. They take you in and diagnose quickly. Stomach cancer is advanced before symptons exist. It is most often diagnosed too late for effective curative treatment. If you get the worst of news ask them to check on trials at MD Anderson in Houston or Bethesda in Maryland. Good luck.

go on line to university of Penn in Philadelphia and they will get you a docter with a few days. http://www.pennhealth.com
