Hi.
Thanks for your query and detailed history.
This does not look like a stomach cancer as the cancer is painless to start and secondly endoscopy would have shown it; so forget about it.
Another reason can be severe gastritis which takes time to heal and it looks you need more than the Nexium, Gaviscon, Klacid, Pariet 20 and Buscopan.
I would advise you the following in such a situation that a diagnosed case of GERD and H Pylori infection is still causing symptoms in spite of the treatment.
-Continue the medicines.
-Request for additional Domperidone and a medicine for anxiety and / or stress.
-Soft bland and small and frequent feeds.
No outside foods and beverages.
You can take off from the job or duty till you are recovered well.
-Take a second opinion if required.
-Investigations of the blood, particularly Liver function tests, amylase and lipase for pancreas, other tests of urine and stool.
-CT scan of the abdomen is a must to rule out the problems of gall bladder stones and infection / pancreatitis / cancer as you are thinking of and so on.
-Further treatment as per the investigations reports and clinical judgement of the Gastroenterologist
