A member asked:
Is more frequent loose stools symptom of smallcelllung cancer. also fatigue and muscle loss&possibly malabsorption. symptoms for 18 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not lung cancer: What you described does not comport with lung cancer. Did you lose weight? If yes, malabsorption is likely. For a more definitive opinion an in-person evaluation is needed and you should consult a doctor. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
