I wasen't sure where to post after the Introduction, Under Treatment and posted a rather long message.

Have been reading alot so many things, I didn't know why losing weight happens even if you are eating fairly well.

I assumed that it was that food didn't appeal or the treatment made you ill to eat.

From what I have read, it is the tumor itself is taking the nutrients to grow as it is part of your DNA, meaning it is part of your body. That is why you lose weight. Am I wrong in this?

Sometimes I wonder if reading is a good thing or something that just scares you to death. I go back and forth on this, is it better to Know or just to have hope and not know? How do others feel about this? I am going to try to move this message to another area in the forum as I think it is not an introduction matter. Thanks all, Darbi,
