    Hi Sean first let me tell you if you had cancer 4 years from onset of symptoms at your age youd likely be dead ,hiatus hernia can cause alot of aches and pain in the ribs chest area and the burping can come from that or from anxiety as in you've formed a habit of doing it the more you are worrying about symptoms the more they will come and your body gets into that rhythm the brain is extremely powerful like when we think of nits we scratch our heads it can make things worse by focusing on them ,im like you i burp constantly all day long for years and years trust me in 4 years cancer would of been spotted along while bk 4 years is a very long time with cancer that would be untreated to still be alive get on with your life and enjoy your kids anxiety is the biggest life ruiner ever i know i have
