What Causes Excessive Weight Loss While Having Metastatic Breast And Bone Cancer?
hello, I am a cancer patient, with metastatic breast and bone cancer. I have been on Ibrance for 4 months and for the past month have had frequent infections, uti and vaginal. My stools are soft, but formed, like snakes. Besides staying on a modified BRAT diet, is there anything I can do to stop losing weight? I have lost about 10 pounds in a month.

Hello,
It would be a good idea to get off the brat diet if possible. If that is not possible then add some ensure or another supplement a couple times a day to keep your weight up
Regards
