Suggest Treatment For Tumor In The Stomach

default
Posted on Mon, 25 Jul 2016
Question: I need to know what the symptoms are for a tumor in your stomach.
My stomach is swollen, when I walk on the treadmill, I have a bloody leak from my bowels. When I press on my stomach there is hardness (all over, not just in one place) and some tenderness, but not so much that it causes pain.
This has been a progressive process for the past year. I have seen my doctor and had blood tests for my yearly exams, but have not mentioned any of this to her. She is a nurse practitioner and I feel like she is very competent. I just never thought much about it to bring it up to her.
I have swelling in my feet, legs and hands and take Lasix(40mg) every other day and triamterene (37.5) on the other days due to cramping in my muscles (all over). Not only do I have swelling, but redness in my legs up to my knees. I have began to see that same redness in my upper arms.
I have gained at least 30 pounds since April, 2015. My mother was place on Hospice in April, 2015, and passed away from severe dementia in July, 2015.
I am days from being 60 years old.
