Sometimes there is no way to tell. I have stage iv lung cancer and you would not know it by just looking at me. He may just have a respiratory illness. He may be hiding it if he is losing weight, but that isn’t a tell tale sign, I put on 14 pounds while on chemo. There are also some chemo treatments that do not create hair loss so can’t go by that either. The only way to know for sure is if he says anything, or you ask him… or wait.. time will tell.
