First and foremonst, I'd like to say he's going to the doctor this week, but this is about my 77-year-old grandfather. These are the symptoms he's been experiencing:
-Loss of all appetite
-Diarrhea after every meal
-Severe pains when digesting
-Vomiting
-Lost twenty-two pounds in two months - a lot for an almost-eighty-year-old.
Someone said it sounds like colon cancer. He only has half a stomach, and is a skin cancer survivor. What do you all think?

All possibilities are out there. Older people sometimes don`t have a big appetite. Diarrhea maybe he is eatting too much rich food. Severve pains when digesting could be caused from alot of things. vomiting could be because he has 1/2 of his stomach and could a reflux problem and losing weight. He could have diverticolitis or may be just a bad flu. I would highly suggest to take him to his dr asap. I am not a dr and i would hate to give you advice when it should be his doctor...
