Answer 1

It is true that patients who have had Hepatitis can develop cancer. The same goes for anyone who has not had Hepatitis. So, you realize that anyone at anytime can develop cancer, so the time span means nothing.
However, we cannot live our life in fear, so don't panic. It is good to check ourselves, of course, especially when we have a pre-disposition to a problem. I would advise your friend to have a blood test, to check transaminases and the indexes that indicate cancer. It is quite simple. A sonogram could help too, because apart from cancer, she could have stones in her bile for example, that cause the stomach pains. Or gastritis in her stomach. So it's a good idea to have a check up, especially if the pain persists. Stress is a parametre that brings problems to the surface, but I don't believ it can cause you to hurt for very long if there is no real problem, even a minor one. Good luck, and don't panick!
