He had Prostrate Cancer a couple of years ago. He is so weak he can barely walk around the VA told him he had the flu and go home. Please help he showed up at my house tonight he has lost alot of weight, face looks drawn, tears in his eyes, I am sure he is dehidrated.

Hello,
As there is history of prostate cancer, rapid weight loss and inability to walk, strong suspicious of recurrence of cancer or metastasis has to be looked in.
In our clinic, we recommend blood tests and whole body scan to find out the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
