My first memorable symptom was random vomiting. It started off about once a week, with no reason to it so I went to the GP. A blood test showed I was severely aneamic and the investigation went from there. For months I just had upper GI symptoms, but an endoscopy revealed nothing. After about 6 months I started to get stomach cramps and occasional diarrhoea and constipation, which lead to an investigation to Crohns disease. It took another 4 months until I got referred and a colonoscopy and MRI, which revealed the cancer, and not Crohns. By that point, I was vomiting a lot, couldn't eat much and getting lots of stomach pain. I never had bloody stools or unexplained weight loss.
