A close friend of mine recently died of stomach cancer. Kindly let me know the early signs of this ailment.

The very first signs of stomach cancer are so random that virtually no one would even dare to think about stomach cancer (or any other cancer) in the first place. That’s the essence of its deadly accuracy. Persistent indigestion and heartburn, trapped wind and frequent burping, feeling very full or bloated after meals, persevering stomach pain might as well be a signal that the patient simply overeats on a regular basis.
However, the symptoms of advanced stomach cancer are much clearer though: black stools (implying there is blood in it which “comes from within,” and not fresh innocent blood coming from, e.g. hemorrhoids), loss of appetite and weight loss.
