Dear

Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern.

1. Regarding his complaints:

i. old age with anorexia with weight loss: one has to first think of carcinoma of stomach.
ii. anorexia,weight loss,loose motions, think of tuberculosis of intestine
PS. since he is in 4th stage of cancer, it means he is under expert supervision, what is the opinion of attending doctor?

2. Do let me know if any investigations are carried out, noticeably:
. Hb%, WBC,ESR & Urine: as routine.
. X-ray chest: [for TB/Carcinoma Lung]
. Gastroscopy.
. Ultrasonography of abdomen [for malignancy]
PS. since report attached reads "Features are suggestive of poorly differentiated carcinoma" and advised for Liver biopsy thus talk with your attending doctor.
