Tragic event about stomach cancer

In a tragic event of unfortunate misdiagnosis, The Daily Mail is reporting that teen Stacey Stephenson died of stomach cancer after repeatedly being diagnosed with acid indigestion. At the beginning of summer, Stephenson began having digestive problems related to eating. When she visited the doctor, she was told she suffered from acid indigestion and given a prescription to combat acid indigestion.

However, several weeks later, when the young woman of 19 noticed her symptoms had not improved, she returned to see the doctor again. Again, she was told she suffered from acid indigestion. Shortly after, she went with friends to Greece on holiday. During holiday in Greece, the stomach pain became severe and she sought medical attention. An X-ray revealed a stomach tumor and this is when her stomach cancer diagnosis was made.

This is very sad.But could the tumor not be surgically operated and then she gone through chemo and lived a little longer at least?Or was it the delay that made the case impossible?

That is quite alarming ...because indigestion is a frequent visitor to one and many not everyone ever expects to get cancer.This is very unfortunate event that has occurred to her.

sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.
