6. Low-Grade Fever
You already know that when your body fights an infection the fever is normal. Well, in the case of cancer, patients may experience low-grade fever due to the malignancy in the affected areas and the immune’s system efforts to fight it. Keep in mind that fever is more common with advanced stomach cancer.
7. Fatigue
Feeling tired may be the result of a lot of conditions and factors. However, if you are sleeping and resting sufficiently, and still feeling very tired, it can be a sign of an underlying condition. If you are dealing with gastric cancer, the tumor may bleed, causing fatigue. The loss of small amounts of blood, that can’t be seen by human eyes can cause anemia and chronic fatigue.

I am suppose have a biposy ever 9 mo but due to insurance i haven’t had one in 4 yr
This article caught my eye because I just came home from the Emergency Room at our local hospital. For 6 days now, I have been experiencing sharp pains in my upper abdomen and some constipation. I have not been able to maintain my regular schedule at all. It is a sharp pain, followed by cramping; and it lasts for 2-4 hours each time it happens.
The ER doc ordered a CT scan with and without contrast, and it came back ‘normal’. They also did blood work and an EKG. All tests were normal.
I am a breast cancer survivor of 5 1/2 years, and this new illness (whatever it is) is alarming.
