What are the signs and symptoms of stomach cancer?
There are almost 7,000 people diagnosed with stomach every year in the UK. We look at what stomach cancer is, and who it affects. Generally thought of as an older person’s cancer, we meet Donna Edwards, who received a heart-breaking cancer diagnosis after doctors initially put her heartburn and bloating down to her age.

Donna and Dr Ranj talk about the symptoms you should never ignore, and how you can go about getting a second opinion.
