What Causes Chills And Vomiting While Suffering From Cancer?
My brother is experiencing hard chills and hot flashes, vomiting every hour and some diarrhea. He ate some supplements recently that he wonders about. Complication is that he was recently diagnosed with cancer. Had a metastasized tumor removed and docs are unsure about original site of cancer. Otherwise we wouldn t be worried about these symptoms.

Hello and thank you for asking!
I can understand your concern regarding to your brothers health.
The situation is complicated and the information you gave is not enough.
The actual symptoms are suggestive for an acute viral infection, but it depends where cancer is localized and the type of cancer to rule out cancaer as a cause.
Please give some more info for further suggestions.
