The chances of stomach cancer at your age are quite low. But, you should see a GI doctor and get an upper endoscopy. The doctor looks into your stomach while you are sedated to see why you are having symptoms. Perhaps you have an ulcer as the etiology of your symptoms. If so, they would take biopsies to rule out malignancy and treat the ulcer. Also, rule out H. Pylori. That is also treatable.

Extremely low, always possible. Would recommend focusing in getting a diagnosis and proper treatment rather than worrying about the worst possible diagnosis. An upper endoscopy with biopsies should provide at least peace of mind, if not the diagnosis.
