Yes, in this case there is a tendency of losing weight.

He needs to consume high quality proteins or supplements also if necessary to compensate with daily protein requirement as their appetite reduces.

Egg whites, soya or normal milk, nutty shakes, milk or paneer porridge etc help.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Indore

Hello, I used to smoke. I started smoking in 2016 when I was 16 years old. Later in 2020 I stopped in lockdown and after that, did occasionally only until 2022. I started doing almost daily in 2022. I was doing it until jan of this year. I sometimes did 4-5 cig a day and sometimes not even one. I stopped doing smoking now with a fear of oral cancer. All of my friends smoke. Is it okay to sit with them in a smoking cafe or place? I read somewhere that second hand smoke can cause cancer. I am starting to do regular exercise but what about oral cancer? I will not smoke with them for at least a year now.

From last few months she is suffering from excruciating pain in lumber spine that radiates to her ribs and intensifies during night. So for current condition she has already completed palliative radiotherapy (10) but that was of no use to her in terms of pain management or tumor suppression. So she is currently on chemotherapy treatment and completed 3/6 of paclitaxel100 mg+carboplatin. Our problem is that she is suffering from side effects of chemo including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Please help us to get her relieve from this condition.

While these may be the side effects of chemotherapy, they may also be a subtle pointer towards drop in white blood cell counts specially if the patient is taking the chemotherapy on a weekly basis. The patient also needs good pain management.
