Hi @smithnat40

Good Evening & Welcome it’s great to meet you today.

Can you please let me know if you have seen your gp with regards to your weight loss ???  

Please please don’t worry ? 

I hope that you don’t mind but we have got access to a number of “Expert Advisors” here on our site.

I have forwarded your post onto one of them for there expert advice

Hi @smithnat40 welcome to the community! Sorry to hear this, as @steve51 says, is your GP aware of this?

Hi sorry I didn't get back to you last night. Yes my GP is aware. I am currently on fortisip fortijuice drinks. I had a lung function test and I couldn't quite understand but the nurse said my results were very poor and out of her comfort zone she wants to refer me to a lung specialist. I also had to go for a smear test last week and results came back severe high grade abnormal cells I've got to go this week for more tests. I'm petrified xx

I have a rapid weight loss going on, too, to the point where it is making me weak.
It is Thanksgiving Day here, so I can't contact my GP, will tomorrow.

Did your tests show anything?

Hi guys well sadly I've been for tests and I have cervical cancer. My brain can't process information right now and everything is a blank. I don't even know what day it is.
