Mum has lost weight for no reason. Fluid found in lungs

My mother has lost over a stone in 6months for no reason. After chest xray it showed fluid in lungs.

She has been given protein powders and her weigh has gone back up. Would her weight go up if she has cancer? or could it be another reason. 

  • Hello lillydeffo123

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has had some health concerns over the last few months. It's understandable that you may have questions and concerns about her symptoms. 

    Only the doctors responsible for her care will be able to explain the x-ray results and the changes in her weight so if your Mum is agreeable, you can get in touch with them for support regarding your Mum's health. 

    Hopefully they will be able to give you some answers and reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
