in Stomach Cancer #1

I just found out a nephew has stomach cancer, he's had it for a year and told no one!  He was extremely healthy before the cancer, but I cannot tell which stage he would be and he would not say himself.  I am not going to push anyone, I respect him, but he is young, only 29 and I want to be as supportive as possible.  What I read about him online, he has been in ICU because of breathing problems and is on many types of pills and inhalers.  Can anyone tell me which stage he would be...ICU and inhalers...seems rather advanced to me.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I have just registered on this site yesterday and it sems like very few people come here anymore. I have recently been diagnosed with stomach cancer so I'am new to this. But fromn what I have found doing research. The only way you can know for sure what stage he is in is by hm going and having a ct or pet scan done. The doctor wwill look at the scan and be able to stage the cancer. I hope this helps, and good luck and may the lord be with you.
