Ascites Unexplained...please Help !!!!!!! Posted: 04-27-06 19:00pm
My mom is very ill and no one has a clue.
Here is a little history, she was
hospitalized in feb with ascites, they
drew off 4 ltrs and put her on a very low
sodium diet, have done a ca 125,numbers
were 885, said she had ovarian cancer,
then primary peritoneal carcinoma, removed
a large cyst and did 2 biopsies of her
liver, and found no malignancies drew off
another 5 plus liters during surgery. The
ascites after surgery cause her incision
site to open, we are now packing and
cleaning several times a day. Her
gastroenterologist told her today he has
done all can, she goes back to the
oncologist fri. She continues to weaken
daily.Please, please, please if anyone has
any ideas or knows of someone with a
simular situation contact me as soon as
possible.
