Weight loss common: I'm so sorry you have had to go through so much in your young life! But congratulations on being a cancer survivor! I presume you have chronic hepatitis B which is associated with fatigue, weight loss & poor appetite. You are thin (you don't say how tall you are), and slow weight gain is a good idea. Focus on calorie dense healthy food; you might also try a calorie supplement like Boost or Ensure
