I Have had pain in the left side of my stomach just below my ribs for 3 1/2 years. I am on pain medication because no doctor can find what is wrong with me. I have had I think almost every test out there.(upper GI, barium swallow, barium enema, CT scans, MRI scans, blood tests, etc... ) What is wrong with me? I'm starting to think that I have stomach or pancreatic cancer from my symptoms and when they do find it, it will be too late. Is there anyone who knows what is wrong with me or can refer me to a specialist that actually cares? I live in Nova Scotia.

You are right to continue to be persistent and dig for the source of your pain. I'm certain that they have done blood tests right and are not necessarily finding anything. Female disorders such as cancers in the Uterus etc can cause stomach pain as well. Continue to be an advocate for your health. I found this that might help:
