Loss of Appetite
Did you use to have a healthy appetite but now don’t want to eat your meals? A common symptom of bone cancer is a lack of appetite. Although it seems counterproductive, whenever the body uses massive amounts of energy fighting the disease, it becomes exhausted. Activity levels will drop off, and your metabolism will slow down. You won’t feel hungry, even when your body clearly needs sustenance.
Once the cause for your lack of appetite has been determined, your doctor will often prescribe medication to increase your hunger levels. It is important to focus on eating nutritionally rich foods when receiving treatment for cancer, because your body will need it.
