Hi AmarilysWelcome to Chat Doctor. Losing weight, blood in stools can relate to a cancer. H.pylori infection can cause gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, cancer. Low cell count can be due to vitamin deficiency also. Even though all these symptoms get together relate to cancer, from the information given, we cannot confirm the presence of cancer. All these symptoms can also be possible in vitamin deficiency and deficient nutrition absorption. Considering his age, he should be taken for evaluation of cancer. He should follow a complete nutritious set to get better. Take care.
