What Causes Nausea Loss Of Appetite And Pain In Lower Abdomen?
My mother has experienced nausea and loss of appetite since 2008. She was told it was parathyroid disease. She had the surgery. Nothing improved. Now, she has pain in lower side near colon, still nausea , tired and has all kinds of tests. Could it be cancer?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The history provided by you about Mother is suggestive of a chronic disease, one of them is cancer and Tuberculosis.
Nausea with loss of appetite with pain in lower abdomen is more suggestive of tuberculosis.
I would advise :::
Contrast enhanced CT scan of abdomen, Enteroclysis, Colonoscopy and the gold quantiferon test for TB..
A clinical examination by a Surgeon plays an important part in early diagnosis as well as a proper history.
