Hello Mavla and welcome to Cancer Chat,

Your poor mum she certainly seems to have lost an awful lot of weight. We actually have a page on our website here which has tips for putting on weight which I hope you will find helpful.

Perhaps some of our members here have experienced extreme weight loss due to cancer or cancer treatment and they may well remember what they did themselves to gain a bit of weight. So any suggestions from them would also be very much appreciated!

Our nurses are also only a free phone call away. Do ring them on 0808 800 4040 (their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm) and explain your situation to them. I am sure they will have some useful advice for you on this.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
