Hi,
I am sure I am asking the impossible, but I am hoping someone can help! In the past 6 months my mum has lost about 3 stone, she is tired all of the time, has no appetite, cannot each much, has low down stomach pain and bloatedness. Initially the Dr said "cancer is there somewhere we just need to find it, we will start with the gut as it is the most obvious place". Since then mum has had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy, the biopsy results are not yet back. However, because mums weight has maintained and her iron levels improved (from 109 to 117) the Dr said it is extrememly unlikely to be cancer. Could these changes just be due to Mum making herself eat and eating lots of iron rich foods? Her symptoms have not changed and if it is not cancer I have no idea!
Thank you
