A member asked:

Is loss of appetite a symptom of colon or lung cancer? it is my only symptom and i have severe anxiety and depression?

Your anxiety and depression are more likely explanations for your symptoms. If you do not have cough or blood in stool, cancer is not likely. It is not feasible to rule out cancer without physical examination, imaging studies and may be a colonoscopy.
