What Causes Breathlessness, Vomiting And Sudden Weight Loss?
My mom is ill - feeling very tired, out of breath; her weight has dropped significantly; she throws up most of what she eats. What is wrong with her? Could she have cancer? Her mother and the only sister died of stomach and colon cancer. What kind of tests can be done to rule out cancer?
