Yep said similar above....a really advanced cancer like this will not permit you to gain weight. Being a pretty detailed person about my health I think my question to the Dr. when being told to gain weight knowing I have been told this before and cannot is....."will you do the surgery if I can't gain any weight?" I would need to know. I don't think she or any there asked that question. The more I think about this the more I think the surgeon knows surgery may well not happen but it giving her this hope in case she can put on weight.
I would need to know as well. I would have to know so if I couldn't put on weight, I could start to organize things like palliative care. I would think of things and places I want to go to before my time is up. I know it sounds grim....but I would HAVE to know. It's just the way I am too.Yep said similar above....a really advanced cancer like this will not permit you to gain weight.
