A young man accompanies his mother to her doctor’s visit, where she is scheduled to receive her first dose of chemotherapy. He is very upset about his mother’s diagnosis, but is most concerned by her recent weight loss. He believes that the nursing home caring for his mother has been negligent in her care, despite his mother adamantly denying mistreatment. The patient admits to weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and a poor appetite. What advice do you give her son?
