Asking for my mother-in-law. She's 77, 5'2, active nonsmoker- completely healthy except pancreatic cancer. Her usual weight is 95 pounds. She got down to 75. She's been doing everything the doctors tell her to try to gain weight and has gotten back up to 85 and is now at a plateau. No appetite and struggling to maintain. She's undergoing chemotherapy and surgery in the near future and would fare best to put on as much weight as she can. Fat, muscle, anything! My question is why aren't the doctors giving her anavar ? Also, should *I* give her anavar?
