I have stomach pains mostly on the left side of my abdomen, I frequently vomit, I do not have appetite and am losing weight drastically. I also usually have back aches. I went to the doctor and had a scan but they said it was a cyst. The second time I went they said it wasn't a cyst but they could not tell what is was. Please help me.

With drastic weight loss, history of chronic left sided abdominal pain that radiates to your back, and vomiting, I suggest you see a gastroenterologist for possible gastroscopy and biopsy. I am concerned about stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer. The cyst could be a pocket of blood from bleeding gastric ulcer. It probably disappeared following the resorption (enzymatic digestion) of the collection of blood in surrounding tissues. Meanwhile, avoid spicy foods, and eat small frequent meals.
