Question: When one has cancer (specifically colon cancer) is there also always weight loss!?
Answers:
The only time my weight changed was during the chemo for colon cancer and whilst I was in hospital!. My weight has been going up and down constantly for the past 7 months, whilst receiving treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Unfortunately I don't know in regards to colon cancer specifically; however, I have read numerous accounts of people who have had lung cancer with no symptoms at all!.
In fact there are several cancers that I know of (pancreatic, lung, and kidney) where symptoms may not occur at all until the cancer is already quite advanced!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on the type of cancer and how advanced it is!. Blood cancers tend to cause quick weight loss - other cancers, such as prostate and ovarian, don't impact major organs until they've spread beyond the site of the primary tumor, so with these there'd be less weight loss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Tumors release chemicals in the body that increase metabolism, causes it to burn calories faster!. Two of my sisters had colon cancer!. I also noticed that they became very pale!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
