Suggest Treatment For Weight Loss, Vomiting And Numbness In Arms For A 79-year-old
My Dad is 79 years old. He has been a smoker most of his life.Had prostate cancer 2 years ago.His stools are hard baseball size. He is currently losing weight, gagging and throwing up after eating various food- breads, cakes, pancakes, etc. has numbness in both arms and thumbs. Not a lot of energy, sits around a lot.
This could be something serious as he has a history of cancer. I suggest you to visit your doctor for his complete check-up and see if cancer is relapsed or not as all of his symptoms can be due to cancer related as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
