10 Osteosarcoma Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Weight Loss
Osteosarcoma can be exhausting for the patient. Their body will always be battling against the disease and this means that calories are being burned up all of the time. Burning up more calories than you are taking in will eventually lead to stored fat and muscle being metabolized.
The weight loss is likely to be unplanned and also very sudden. It can be made worse when the patient is feeling ill, meaning that they may not feel like eating. It is important to still try to eat as much as you can, regardless of whether or not you feel like it.
