When one has cancer (specifically colon cancer) is there also always weight loss? The only time my weight changed was during the chemo for colon cancer and whilst I was in hospital. My weight has been going up and down constantly for the past 7 months, whilst receiving treatment. Unfortunately I don't know in regards to colon cancer specifically; however, I have read numerous accounts of people who have had lung cancer with no symptoms at all. It depends on the type of cancer and how advanced it is. Blood cancers tend to cause quick weight loss - other cancers, such as prostate and ovarian, don't impact major organs until they've spread beyond the site of the primary tumor, so with these there'd be less weight loss. Tumors release chemicals in the body that increase metabolism, causes it to burn calories faster. Two of my sisters had colon cancer. I also noticed that they became very pale. |
