For Cancer Patients & Caretakers
Are You Starving to Death in Plain Sight?
Are You Watching Yourself Disappear?
(The Cachexia Assessment)
Losing weight without trying? Constant nausea? Strength draining away? This assessment helps you find out if it's cachexia — because you can't address what you can't name.
It's the terrifying reality nobody wants to talk about, but ignoring it won't make it go away, and neither will pretending you're 'fine.' The sooner you name it, the sooner you can do something about it.
Sound familiar?
- •The Vanishing Act:Dropping weight even when you're "doing everything right." (And let's be honest, your clothes are starting to hang like curtains.)
- •The Kitchen Battle:Does the mere smell of coffee or toast make your stomach do a backflip? (When "just eat a little more" feels like a cruel joke.)
- •The 3% Battery:Feeling like your life battery is permanently stuck in the red. Even a trip to the mailbox feels like a marathon.
- •The Mirror Test:Noticing hollows in your temples or collarbones that weren't there a month ago. (That's not just "weight loss." That's muscle wasting.)
Most people (and even some doctors) call it "cancer weight loss" and suggest a generic hospital shake, but the clinical term is Cachexia, and it's a metabolic crisis.
Your body is breaking down its own muscle and fat just to keep the lights on, and it needs your help.
I've been there. I know the terror of watching yourself disappear in the mirror. This assessment isn't about medical jargon or toxic "warrior" talk, it's a clear-eyed look at what's actually happening, and a roadmap for what comes next.
Caring for someone who is disappearing?
If you're a caregiver watching the person you care about waste away while the hospital Jell-O sits untouched, this is for you, too. Take the assessment on their behalf to get a protocol that actually works.
"Finally, someone who isn't telling me to 'just eat more.' This assessment gave me a plan when I felt hopeless."
