Yes, in this case there is a tendency of losing weight.

He needs to consume high quality proteins or supplements also if necessary to compensate with daily protein requirement as their appetite reduces.

Egg whites, soya or normal milk, nutty shakes, milk or paneer porridge etc help.

So the final diagnosis is pre b cell all with ph positive.
I believe autologous transplant was done since you had a very good response to chemo and mrd was negative.

Please continue imatinib.

2013-mastectomy surgery followed by chemotherapy (6) (doxorubicin) and radiotherapy (25) followed by ai therapy including tamoxifen citrate 20 mg (5 yrs) 2018- metastasis in lumber spine along l3-l4 region treated by palliative radiotherapy (5 of 20 gy dosage) followed by ai therapy including letrozole 2.5 mg+palbociclib+monthly zoledronic acid 4 mg inj. But due to some affordability issues were unable to continue it. Now 2020- metastasis progressed to retroperitoneal region proximal to left para-aortal lymph nodes as per latest mri screening. From last few months she is suffering from excruciating pain in lumber spine that radiates to her ribs and intensifies during night. So for current condition she has already completed palliative radiotherapy (10) but that was of no use to her in terms of pain management or tumor suppression. So she is currently on chemotherapy treatment and completed 3/6 of paclitaxel100 mg+carboplatin. Our problem is that she is suffering from side effects of chemo including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Please help us to get her relieve from this condition.

While these may be the side effects of chemotherapy, they may also be a subtle pointer towards drop in white blood cell counts specially if the patient is taking the chemotherapy on a weekly basis. The patient also needs good pain management.

Homeopathy Doctor•
Usually cancer is painless until it involves adjacent nerves.
It can be an ulcer which does not heal for long time.
Especially in those who has history of tobacco habits.
Or family history of cancer.
In case of any doubt.. don't wait and take proper check up.
You cannot diagnose diseases like cancer by asking questions about it.
