" I had an ulcer in my remnant too! "

Ok now you guys are scaring me! I am not afraid of an ulcer in my remnant,

but I am afraid of cancer. I was under the impression that a CT scan and/or

MRI would visualize it, not as well as a scope obviously but better then

nothing! It was one of my big fears pre-op as my older brother died of

stomach cancer at 41, a very young age for this type of cancer! I so wanted

them to just take the rest of the stomach out! but apparently like other

" healthy " organs that is not ethically permitted in New York State. So now I

am wondering if I will have symptoms early enough to be able to do something

about it IF it happens.
