A member asked:

Does weight loss (muscle and fat) from cancer tend to happen all over the body? or could it just happen in my stomach and upper arms?

Weight loss distribu: The amount of weight you lose, & where it's lost from, is a complex question that is best answered in HealthTap Prime or by your oncologist. It depends on the stage of the cancer, the type of cancer, & (of course) your nutrition (what you're eating). In general, the weight loss can be maldistributive - muscle before fat, or from the arms before the belly, for example. In any case, keep healthy. GL
