Stomach cancer 1st trimester

Some may know my situation but my baby's mom was diagnosed with gastric cancer about a week ago. Does anyone know the outcome? I've had a couple answers, but I thought i'd try and get a couple more views.
I've heard that they have to abort to start treatment. Especially since it's so early in the pregnancy. She wanted to try to wait it out and have the baby first but i've heard that the cancer may spread to the fetus. Any thoughts?

yeah, i heard stomach cancer is different as well. More serious, and when detected it's usually in it's advanced stages.

I think stomach cancer is a whole different ball game. It is extremely serious and I would listen to the Dr's..

I met a lady a couple of years ago that found out she had ovarian and cerivical cancer while pregnant with her son and they did chemo and surgery on her while she was pregnant and she had a healthy baby.
