A CT scan is not required after an endoscopy. If your doc told you it was, it would suggest he/she wants to follow-up on something that may have raised some questions. Call your doctor and speak to him/her directly and ask why he/she requested a CT scan.

CT scans help to diagnose many conditions including cancer, so you can't immediately jump to the 'cancer' idea. And a final diagnosis isn't based on a single test. It should be based on the sum of all the information that is gathered.

Burping can be due to a variety of causes that could include acid reflux, H. pylori, gallbladder issues, etc.

H. pylori typically causes gastritis in the stomach.

I can't comment on the 'bumps.' Bumps could be due to a heck of a lot of things. A description of a 'bump' isn't good enough to even try to figure out what's going on. A bump could be a fold of tissue, a muscle mass under the inner lining, polyps, or ?????? You need to ask for a better description of what those bumps are.
