Symptom #9: Loss of Appetite, Nausea, and Vomiting
In metastatic melanoma, there may be systemic symptoms that are nonspecific such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Affected patients often have no desire to eat or feel full faster despite a small amount of food intake. This may be due to the nausea the patient experiences.
Nausea is defined as the urge to vomit while vomiting means the forceful expulsion of stomach contents from the mouth or nose.
