Thank you for this video. I believe this is what my mom is experiencing despite her trying to withhold information (for my sake I'm sure). I want to learn as much about is as I can. This won't be an easy journey.
Very informative talk that answered my concerns. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. From lymph nope under arm and malignant ascites. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
I'm so sorry about your diagnosis. I hope you are getting what you need. Please let us know if you have questions. Ask here or on our forums, cancergrace.org/forum/active Take care, Janine
My sister was diagnosed with stomach adenocarcinoma stage 3 shortly she developed ASCITES..... she's hasnt started chemo was advocating for fasting and keto but ascites is making life hell foe her horrible pain ....i hope she'll get through this by god's grace.
I'm so sorry your sister is going through this. If the ascites is caused by the cancer really treating the cancer is the best way to treat the ascites. I hope she does well and all the best to you, Janine
That was helpful. My mum has secondary terminal cancer following a hysterectomy and has recently developed ascites and it helps to know more about the condition.
My good friend was recently diagnosed with Cirrhosis, and has ascities.. she has had it drained 3 times..but, now it was determined that she doesn’t have cirrhosis, but cancer, she has a mass in her pelvic area. Not determined what type of cancer yet..awful
I'm so sorry about your friends diagnosis. Often with cancer care it's possible to manage symptoms like ascities when anticancer treatment is given. I hope this is true for your friend. Best of luck and please let us know if you have questions moving forward. cancergrace.org/forum
@CancergrathaceOrg thank you my sister was diagnosed on 15 Dec 2023 with stomach adenocarcinoma stage 3 and immediate she developed ASCITES she's been drained 3 times have put her on fasting and high dose of vitamin C infusion I'll come back to tell how jesus has saved her
I saw a study where they used mistletoe therapy for malignant ascites. It was given through a catheter into the peritoneal space. Do you know anything regarding this type of care? After surgery and failed chemo.
I'm sorry you're having to search for this info. Mistletoe has not been proven to help with malignant ascites. It appears that it's been tested but not to the extent that it shows proof of efficacy. Here is a link to the present standards. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8732893/ I hope you find relief soon.
Fairly challenging? Oh my, if you only knew. It's a miserable way to die because the cramping pain accompanied with bloating, heartburn, indigestion are horrible not fairly challenging. I drain myself daily at least 1000ml.
You bring up a good point about communication. Constantly check for understanding between your doc and you, and whenever you hear "fairly challenging" know that horrible is a possibility. I've learned these layman's tricks from 12 years reading and listening. And to your point, jeez 1000 ml a day...I am so sorry and thank you for showing us your perspective. :) cancergrace.org/node/add/forum Janine
Lung cancer with no cirrhosis of liver or liver failure, but did have malignant pleural effusion of the lung, so lung cancer can also suffer from ascites, we are waiting to find out if it is malignant
Listening to this talk after my mom got diagnosed with colon cancer with moderate ascites
Very infomative talk. Excellent questions from a very astute interviewer!
Thank you for further explaining. It has helped me to know more about the conditions of Ascites.
Thanks for all the information about ascites
Thank you for taking the time to explain all that.
Thank you for this audio video, very informative.

I was trying the same thing but I changed my mind it's too much.

How do you drain yourself
Very knowledgeable information Thank you
Don't understand why my mom's dr has not even tried dierutics?? He straight went for drainage ..
We can't guess why her doctor made a decision. Ask them to explain.
Thank you
Your welcome. Hope it was helpful.
