Does Discomfort In Left Side Of Abdomen And Indigestion Indicate Cancer?

i recently starting having discomfort in my left abdomen, it is focused in one tender area but sometimes spreads to my front and back. it is accompanied by stomach gurgling, indigestion and loose, clay colored.stool. there is no blood in the stool, and i feel fine otherwise. it is just very uncomfortable and i'm scared it could be cancer.

Greetings.
The symptoms you just described are vague and do not indicate a cancer. Only in the case if these symptoms persist along with loss of weight and appetite then you need to undergo test like endoscopy to rule out cancer. Otherwise just do not worry.
