Date: 04/18/2008 Hi my friend's mum has had problems with indigestion for years and she has recently had an endo. My friend did not say what the results were, I don't think she knows, but said the hospital now want her mum to have an Ultrasound. I did not know why they would do this, but now I've read that it can be for detecting early cancer.... does this mean they think she has cancer?? She is 68.
