Hello,
As you already have Upper GI Endoscopy done, and revealed GERD and H.Pylori and no evidence of any neoplastic/cancer lesion, it's highly unlikely to have the stomach malignancy at this point. In future, you need to be checked again for any possible malignancy considering your strong family history.
For now, your abdominal pain may be due to gastric ulcer and acid reflux. Your doctor suggested you right to take Nexium 40 mg once a day or Omeprazole in the same dose daily for 4 weeks for maximum effect and full recovery. Besides this, you can prop up your bed or use extra pillows to elevate your head up to prevent acid reflux in your esophagus. Treating gastric ulcer with medication alone can sometimes be so difficult, without modifying lifestyle change.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ameet Kumar
