Stomach cancer

hi just got news that a family member has been recently diagnosed with stomach cancer. It has not spread and the say it’s down and bottom of his abdomen. I have noticed his belly is very swollen this week. We are going for his first  appointment to the hospital to speak to a consultant . I take it its to discuss his finding with the tests and such.. the cancer hasn’t spread so does this mean they have detected it early?? 

  • Hi Gill,

    We have some information about stomach cancer on our website which I hope will help answer some of your questions but if you'd like to chat with someone about this then do give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and that your family member's first appointment with the consultant goes well.

    All the best,
