Unexpected Weight Loss
If you are like me, anytime you step on the scales and you see you have lost weight, it is a good thing. However, if you find that you are losing ten or more pounds, and haven’t made any changes to your diet or are working at losing weight, then there is the possibility that something is amiss. Sudden, as well as unexplained, weight loss, has shown in studies to be a precursor to the diagnosis of cancer within the body. The condition is most often found in patients diagnosed with pancreatic, stomach or esophageal cancer, and is caused by either a loss of appetite or a change in the bodies ability to absorb essential nutrients.
