Hello ,
Your mother had a relatively small weight loss only , when compared to what we call significant weight loss while considering cancers. But as my colleagues also have already explained , there could be many causes for weight loss other than a cancer . For advising her regarding what further steps need to be taken we need more details about her weight loss and any other symptoms she is having
Next Steps
Consult with a detailed history
Health Tips
Don’t worry , not every weight loss is cancer . And not all cancers are deadly . You have taken the correct step to consult regarding your doubt .
