Understanding Bone Cancer: Ten Key Symptoms

7. Loss of Appetite

If you develop cancer, you often find yourself eating less. A loss of appetite occurs when the body uses all of its energy on fighting cancer. As a result, the body becomes exhausted, and activity levels fall. Eventually, you lose your appetite and no longer find food appetizing. Your healthy cells may also become nutrient-lacking, as the cancerous cells absorb all the nutrients. To increase appetite, ask your physician for prescription medicine. It is also recommended to eat a healthy and balanced diet to ensure adequate nutrition.
