Brian,
I think I get it. My mom has had many diffiulties in all three areas, this is where I would tell someone that from her experience with all her radiation tx's she has now been diagnosed with malnutrition, even though her current weight is perfect for her frame. Since she can't eat properly, it is causing the pain to persist...?
