As I have told you before, it is incredibly incredibly unlikely that you have stomach cancer.  You are young and that lowers your risk a lot.  You say you have every symptom of stomach cancer, but all those symptoms are also every symptom of many other conditions.  And it is much more likely to be something else besides stomach cancer.

Some of what you're describing suggests you should be checked for the presence of H. pylori and acid reflux issues. Has your doctor suggested that yet?
