What Could It Be If Having Hard And Extended Stomach With Loss Of Apetite?

My husband has a very hard extended stomach. I noticed it several months ago. He says he has no pain but it is hard as a rock. As of now he will no go to see our doctor. He has lost his appetite and does not eat much. Can you give me some ideas on what it could be?
