I got stomach cancer at 32 that spread all over my body – doctors failed to spot the telltale warning sign
A mother-of-one who felt perpetually fatigued and unable to have a social life was told by doctors she was ‘just getting older’ — two years later she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer.
Even when Alyssa Burks, now 34 from Houston US, complained she was suffering a telltale sign of the disease — difficulty swallowing and heartburn — the doctor advised her to cut down on acidic foods to control her symptoms.
