worried-
based only on what you've said, yes, a recurring stomach cancer can be treated again. Not knowing the specifics of his cancer it's hard to say how his doctors may choose to treat him again, but it will depend on several factors, so he may require another surgical procedure, surgery followed by chemo, surgery followed by radiation, just chemo, just radiation- i guess what I'm saying is that there are treatment modalities established, some work better than others, and his doctors are the ones who have to try and determine which form will best suit his disease, his health, etc.
