Question
Hello doctor, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with gastric antrum. After that, the doctor prescribes medicine and asks for a follow-up visit when the course of medicine is finished. However, the day of the re-examination coincided with the Covid-19 epidemic, so I couldn't go. Moreover, lately, I sometimes have indigestion at night. So do I have stomach cancer? I hope you can give me some advice, thanks!
