I NEVER feel hungry, can this be anything other than cancer?
I am a 25 year old male, I've searched the internet high and low but there doesn't seem to be any reassurance out there for me. I lost my appetite seeminly over night about 3 months ago. Over that time I have seen 4 different doctors and they have presribed various things like laxatives and acid reflux as I have also had mild digestive complaints on and off. None of these have had boosted my appetite though. I still enjoy eating and do so to keep my energy levels up, but I never actually get hungry and sometimes I get bloated after meals. I also had a colonscopy (I requested it) to rule out colon cancer and it was all clear so the doctor just gave me anti-anxiety meds assuming my lack of appetite was psychological. Only thing is I'm convinced it's not and have seen another doctor who I persuaded to give me an ultrasound. Doctor doesn't seem too worried though and just seemed to imply I'm a hypochondriac.
Assuming I am right about the lack of appetite being physical, can it really be anything else but cancer? I'm convinced what I am experiencing now is cachexia, or wasting from late stage cancer. I can't help but think it's pancreatic cancer with liver mets as I also have digestive complaints (have even had floating stools for a while now), I initially considered this just to excedingly rare in people my age but my symptoms just seem textbook cancer. All in all just can't really believe this is happening and I'm terrified about the ultrasound
I DONT WANT TO FUCKING DIE

I don't know OP; just get a scan if you are that worried. I mean, I am not a physician, but I think there can be an arsenal of diseases that could make you lose your appetite.
Yes I know it is scary, but it is worth having a higher chance of not dying. There are people who survive even pancreatic cancer, and your chances of having pancreatic cancer at your age are very low.
On the other hand, I seem to have a swolled and painless lymph node beneath my ear, and a distant cousin got Hodgkin's lymphona right at my age. It is very rarely fatal but still, I will go through a hell if I have it. Guess I will get it checked out if it keeps growing.
I am a hypochondriac OP, and it is hard. I understand you.

Like what? The vagueness of my other symptoms makes me think it must be cancer. Not like I'm too sick to eat. I just never feel hungry

if you've got the fat to spare do a 7-14 day a water fast to reset insulin, leptin, grelin, should be easy enough since you're not hungry anyway

you're a faggot.
If you really think you have cancer go see a doctor fucking idiot

Fuck off Google doctor. Cancer doesn't only kill your appetite, it also reduces your weight, even when you're eating enough. You also feel sick and you have anemia.
Do you have a full blood count and biochemical markers?

Sign of low test
Im sorry brah

I feel for you OP, when I was younger I convinced myself that I had breast cancer (it was just gyno lol) so I know how fucking terrifying it is. I am almosy certain that the loss of appetite is psychological, you've convinced yourself that you aren't hungry because you think you have cancer. Out of interest, how many calories are you consuming?
