male, 72 yrs, has lost a lot of weight, has trouble eating (gags when eating, can only eat soft foods, doesn t like thick protein drinks, etc.), suffers from constipation, spends a lot of time in the bathroom, mentioned loss of bladder control. his religion keeps him from seeking medical care & I don t know how serious this is & what he may be suffering from or how to help. also loss of muscle mass, therefore, strength. his legs below the knees have swelled a lot--feet look stretched tightly across, toes like sausages--all very frightening.
