most probably, it may be ovarian cancer, which may present with symptoms you have mentioned. If that is the diagnosis, it should be treated with surgery and chemotherapy. If there is stomach cancer, it must be in stage IV and it should be treated only with chemotherapy. survival is short. please consult your doctor, for further advise.
