Hello all. My brother is currently battling stage 4 melanoma with bone mets. He has had small shrinkage and lots of weight loss. His oncologist said he cannot lose anymore weight, he needs to be a certain weight/bmi to continue immunotherapy, Does anybody else struggle with eating/weightless and have you successful overcome this?
