My husband has a large, hard mass in the sternum. It has been there for about a year however in the past few months he has developed severe stomach pains, nausea immediately after eating and severe heart burn. His stomach constantly feels full and he spends a lot of time in the restroom. Is should also mention that about 8 years ago he was diagnosed with pre cancer of the stomach. This weekend the stomach pains were so severe that he could not get out of the bed. Could this be something serious? He is 44, 5 10 and weighs 210.
HI. This is definitely a serious matter as he was diagnosed to have a pre-cancerous lesion in the stomach. He needs upper GI Endoscopy. The mass on the sternum is not related. I would advise for this HERD like symptoms the following
