A member asked:

My 63 yo mom has stomach pain after every meal. she had part of her colon removed due to stage 4 colon cancer yrs ago. why does she get stomach pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to Say: She should probably be seen by her doctor. Is this a new symptom? It is hard to know without more detail and further investigation, but she may be having a problem completely unrelated to her history of cancer such as gastritis, reflux, or ulcer disease, or she may be having an issue related to a recurrence.
