Can anyone tell me what to look for in someone that may have cancer? My husband is a stuburn man and will not go to the doctors. But things I have seen really worry me. About 5 years ago, I noticed a dark spot(the size of a softball) on his back. right in the middle over the spin. It looked like a big brouse. When I asked him what happened, he didn't know what I was talking about. I pushed on it and he didn't even feel me touching him. And over the last year I noticed another spot like the first appering under his shoulder blade. It starts real light and rough to the touch and over time begains to get darker. This one is under his left shoulder blade and now another is appering under the other shoulder blade. His stomic has become very hard to the touch and you would think he had a beer gut. But he doesn't drink. he hurts in the stomic all the time. He eats anti acid tablets like candy. taking 4 at a time 5+ times a day and even gets up during the night taking more or drinking soda water to releave the heart burn. I know I can't get him to go to the doctor. But could someone please tell me what I may be seeing here and how to handle things?

cancer as such presents as loss of appetite&loss of weight.at first patient complaints are non specific.it also depends on which part of his body is affected.if u could b more specific,then i can help.r those dark spots increasing in size?his heartburn cannot be solved by his antacids,he needs omeprazole 20mg tablets once daily.u counsel him & he'll understand cause of ur worry.he might get ready 2 go 2 a doctor.makev him understand the importance of going to a doctor.
