HI
Thanks for posting your query .

I need to know since how long she is suffering from pain ?

Any symptom associated with weight loss should be considered serious . How much weight has she lost ?

Stomach pain could be due to Gastritis , Stones in Gall Bladder , Pancreatitis ( Inflammatory damage to pancreas ) , Cholecystitis ( Inflammatory damage to gall bladder ) Partial obstruction at stomach , Spread of cancer to stomach .

I advise you to get an Upper Gastro-intestinal endoscopy so that we will come to know what is the cause of her problem . It's better you consult a Gastroenterologist as soon as possible .

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
