Could my dad have stomach cancer?

My dad is 65 years old, diabetic, amputee on one leg, has had bowel cancer 2 times in the past. He is experiencing pain in his stomach for the last three weeks, nausea, vomiting, and can only eat soft foods like yogurt. Could he be experiencing stomach cancer? If not, what could it be?

Get your dad to see the doctor and get an appointment with a GI specialist asap

Could he? A definite maybe. It could be a number of things, not one of which should be waited on. Get your dad to a doc immediately.

I can't answer your question - all I can suggest is that your Dad seeks prompt medical advice.  Don't delay.  One of my Wife's uncles, inspite of having pretty obvious symptoms, delayed seeking medical help and eventually died of intestinal cancer.  The doctors said "if only you had come to see us sooner".  Don't let this happen to your Dad.
