Since you received this diagnosis have you radically lost lean body mass? Has your weight, strength, or any other muscle issue been dramatically changing?

The name describes a process, which is caused by some underlying condition. The list of what can cause this is pretty long. Obviously cancer is one if the most dangerous causes. What are they doing to work through the list of differential diagnosis possibilities? It sounds from your post that they know it’s happening, but they are not actively pursuing cause. If they are not, I guess I’m curious why since there may be some mitigating ideas that could be applied to some of the possible reasons this is happening. B
