cachexia a condition of cancer

Eat for the health of it.

Cachexia pronounced 'ka-kek-see-ah'is a condition that actually can kill a person that has cancer. Having cancer is a terrible strain on the human body and for some that cannot fight back or maybe they just don't want to fight anymore and the person refuses to eat, maybe because they don't feel well so they do not try. They are naturally tired for what they have been through. They lose weight and muscle tone, deteriation of their physical condition. They become so weak that they just don't care and they give up trying. The same thing can happen to a person that has a wasting disease like Anorexia. A person with anorexia refuses to eat, they become anemic, they have flu like symptoms and they actually starve to death.
I actually have gone through this myself when my 3-1/2 year old son was killed in a farm accident. I could not eat, if I tried, I threw it up again. I got run down from starvation because I could not keep food down. I kept getting a sore throat and my doctor gave me penicilin until he finally told me he couldn't give me anymore. Right now I can't remember the name but only by what they called it (kissing desease) but I wasn't kissing anyone. I just remember how tired I was and I couldn't eat. After a few months I seemed to get better and the doctor told me that he was afraid that I was going to die from a broken heart. Apparently the name they gave this disease was cachexia. I made up my mind to get better for my two other children that really needed me.
