My weight is changing. Should I worry?

Both directions happen. Some treatments and steroids cause weight gain. Nausea, taste changes and the cancer itself can cause loss. Losing weight without trying is the one to tell us about.

Please do not start a restrictive diet during treatment without asking. This is not the time to be losing weight on purpose, and some popular diets interact badly with treatment.
