My friend was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma two years ago.  She has never gone into remission and has begun gaining a lot of weight.  She sleeps a lot and eats regularly.  I am wondering if she may be suffering from depression and faking cancer for attention.  She will not allow close family of friends to go to the doctor with her.  I am worried.
HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor Weight gain in cancer can be due to improvement of cancer with treatment.  However, u may consult the doctor to inquire about her health condition. Depression usually presents with weight loss and disturbed sleep. Also check for the side effects of any Chat Doctor. Thanks and regards
