Pain In Lower Abdomen With Food Intake. History Of Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cured With Chemo, Stem Cell Transplant. Due To Severe Stress At Present?
For about the last two weeks when I eat it hurts about midway down. I have tried eating slower and smaller size birTes and chewing longer with no results. I am under a lot of stress taking care of my elderly mother who is in end stages. Also I have had Hodgkin's lymphoma 4 times since 2003 with lots of chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant. I have been cancer free for just over 5 years. I also had a heart attack in 2010 and had a stent put in. Could this be from the incredible stress I am under taking care of my mother?
