What Causes Sudden Weight Loss In A Chain Smoker?
I m worried about my mother. She had a hospital app today which we thought was for a memory test. She has lost weight over the last 12 months but has a good appetite. Smokes 15 cigarettes per day. Has no signs of any sickness and is very fit. She is being sent for an mri, why is this? Bloods are also good.
