What are the first symptoms and signs of stomach cancer?

Condition analysis:
When I had it, I first had a twinge of pain that I thought was a hunger pang. Then I started feeling light-headed, as if I was going to pass out. That was soon followed by nausea, and I threw up about 30 mL of bright red blood and mucus. I hoped it was just an ulcer, but I got an upper GI endoscopy as soon as possible and then a CT scan. They confirmed a gastric mass exactly the size of a billiard ball, and then a biopsy confirmed it as a cancer (called a GIST tumor).

Instructions:
Asian Ginseng: Asian ginseng has been in use in traditional Chinese medicine for several thousand years. The dried root of Panax ginseng is used medicinally. Several studies have shown that Asian ginseng might reduce the risk of certain types of cancers. It slows down or stops the growth of cancerous tumors. The chemicals that allow it to do this are ginsenosides, panaxans, and flavonoids. Consult the product label or your doctor to know its correct dose. Some of its side effects are insomnia, breast pain, menstrual problems, increased heart rate, altered blood pressure, dizziness, and headache.

Chaparral: The leaves of Larrea tridentata are used to make the chaparral extract. The active chemicals in chaparral extract are antioxidants. These chemicals boost your immune system and help your body in fighting better against the cancer cells.

Although several health authorities the world over have issued warnings about using chaparral, it may be worth a try in stomach cancer because of the seriousness of the disease. But use it only as a last resort. Consult product label for dosage. It can cause damage to liver and kidneys.
