[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]116 pounds? Is he 5’2? Because if not that’s almost skeletal. I’m sorry OP. Please get your finances and accounts and documents in order.[/quote] He’s shrunk down to 5’5”. It was a UTI. And yes, he’s practically a skeleton. Antibiotics didn’t knock it out, and so we went back and they gave him another prescription. Brought up the weight loss, they said oh you’ve only lost 2 lbs bc he’s now down to 114. I was like, what?! They didn’t make any big deal of it maybe bc he was there for the UTI. WTF.[/quote] My mom died of pancreatic cancer 30 days after diagnosis. Before that, she had weight loss and UTIs. She did not disclose her other symptoms (she must've had symptoms at that point) to anyone. We all saw the weight loss, which wasn't as much as your dh. She also had a distended stomach, which she attributed to "menopausal bloating". I am surprised your dh isn't getting further tests or imaging.[/quote]
