A member asked:

I found out i had fatty liver in march. changed diet and lost 62 lbs. having some night sweats and hair loss. worried i have cancer.?

Worrying does't help: I am worried about your 62 lb weight loss in 6 months. You need a good evaluation. No one can guess what you have until a good history and physical done with some blood tests and scans.
