Unexplained Weight Loss
People with Hodgkin lymphoma tend to have decreased appetite, which eventually leads to sudden weight loss. Another cause of this health issue is that cancer cells use most of the energy. In general, if you have lost interest in eating or lost more than 10 percent of the bodyweight for no clear reason over the course of 6 months, it might be a possible sign of cancer. Immediate medical attention is important. Otherwise, serious weight loss could result in malnutrition and other fatal illnesses. Having a healthy and balanced diet is very important to provide the body with sufficient nutrients to fight cancer cells. [2]
