Hi,
My husband was diagnosed on May 23 of this year.
He has not started chemo or radiation yet.
Since diagnosis, he has lost 34 pounds. His hair has thinned significantly.....so much so that I can see his scalp now. Also, he is acting strange, in the sense that he is frequently forgetting common words, can’t remember where he put something.
Again, no chemo yet so can’t be chemo brain.
He was diagnosed as stage 3 tumor in recto-sigmoid (T3-4a, N2, M0).
He has gone downhill so fast....especially in terms of weight loss. Did any of you experience this? Is this all common for colorectal cancer?
BTW, He has his radiation setting/mapping appointment this Friday.
