Probably a little more personal than I would normally post on a public forum but I don't know anyone who has had this problem, so here goes. I'm a 73 year old male, at Christmas I weighed 11st 2lb and been weight stable for the last 12 years since a heart attack. Over the weeks following Christmas my weight started to drop off without any difference to my eating habits and by the middle of March I was down to 10st 1lb so off to the doctors I went, although I felt perfectly fine. The doctor was absolutely superb and over the next two weeks I had a physical examination, blood tests, X-ray's, bowel screening and a neck to groin contrast CT scan, all the results came back clear and nothing sinister was found. The doctor reassured me somewhat by saying that if it was due to cancer there normally would be other symptoms showing by the time the weight loss started but I show no other symptoms. The weight is still continuing to drop but at a slower rate, today I'm down to 9st 12 lb. I'm being monitored by the doctor on a monthly basis. I have no worries (other than this), I'm happily married no money or family worries at all. I keep body and mind active. Finally I get to my question, knowing we have a mature membership on here has anyone had anything remotely similar to this and can share any outcomes you had? I am really happy with the medical side of things but always open to suggestions. Sorry for the long post.
