R31211, think of your torso from under your breasts on down, and divide into four parts, 2 above the belly button and 2 below. Left side and right side (or 'right in the middle.') Try to say where you feel the pain (for now).

judyKayTee huh?
she asked "how do you get it" I have answef her wondering questions.. though I have told her.. how comes she thinks the pain is from there anyway? It could be an ulcer in there or in a nearby organ.. I have told her that I don't suggest it's a stomach cancer.. re read my previous answers so you can understand.. and 14 years old can understand these questions.. though I didn't ask her more than this
"but do you feel any burn often?after eating maybe?..do you see blood in stool? "
it's really easy to answer ^.^
don't worry R31211 dear there are many reasons for abdominal pains.. and take cancer out of your thoughts.. it could be an ulcer.. and it's curable for sure..

I must have misread what you said to this child. I thought you said, "Sometimes the origion of this cancer can be due to bacterial infection in there."

I assumed by "this cancer" you meant "her cancer."

Sorry -

Gernald, excellent, excellent post with some questions that are important. It is wonderful that you spent this kind of time reassuring the OP.

Great answer, indeed!

It'a OK ,but you don't have to do the kind of "attacking" when someone has an opposite opinion or something,like " Where are you a Dentist student? "
Did you expect me to say a farm or a restaurant ? Lool

[JudyKayTee]

No, I didn't think asking you where you go to dental school was a personal attack. I thought I was asking where you go to school.

Why you would come back with a "restaurant or farm" is beyond me. I have no idea why you chose not to answer, but it's a public board and I appreciate the need for privacy.

I think you're rather sensitive about your credentials.

My counselor tells me how I have too many things on my plate, and that is why I can't sleep and it might be the reason to my pain too. And I believe it, but I just want to make sure. As I said before though, I don't know how to describe the pain so it will be kind of difficult.

Yes, it might very well be from stress and too much going on.

If you can't describe the pain that's fine. Can you answer any of the other questions?
As my old GI professor once said, "Life is like diffuse abdominal pain, you never know what you're gonna get."

We can't help you unless you help us.
