Why Does One Eat Less And Sleep More With History Of Cancer?

Hello Doctor,

My mother -in-law was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer 12 months ago as well as having many cancers in the pelvic area caused by ovarian cancer. for the last 12 weeks she has not been eating much, is extremely and constantly exhausted and is sleeping most of the time. Is she in her last stages of liver cancer?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has multiple foci of cancer in pelvis. She has primary cancer in ovary with multiple metastatic lesion in liver. Sobit is stage 4 cancer. It ia last stage. Life expectancy is not good. Anorexia is due to many toxins secreted by cancer cells and it affect the apetite. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
