[@nimunguronald8286]

This explains exactly how my sister was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma stage 3 stomach cancer ,on 15dec 2023 and on 28 she developed ASCITES swollen stomach she's now in serious pain thw doctors from thw main hospital have abandoned her saying it's too late there is nothing they can do to save her life it's a huge stress for us but I'm a believer who strongly believes in god's miracles, I'll come here to tell her success stories soon oh later thank this chanel for the wonderful presentation

Hi, I'm so sorry your sister is going through this. If she isn't sure that nothing can be done to cure the cancer there maybe treatments to slow down the process. If no anticancer treatment is used hospice will manage comfort care and provide expertise for your sister and her family and caregivers. If she isn't sure she's getting good care perhaps she can get another opinion from an academic, research hospital. I hope for the best for you and her, Janine

I got a report on my blood work and after a paracentesis that I had six liters drained that fluid showed malignant ascites and my CEA was 4.5, my CA125 was 364.0, Cancer Antigen 19-9 is 38.5. They haven’t been able to tell me what type of cancer yet, but I want to survive. I have a CT scan on Tuesday, a paracentesis on Friday. I feel ok actually normal. My fluid has not built back up since my paracentesis. I am on a diuretic and that helps. I just wanting some guidance. I am sixty and just looking for some answers. Waiting is so hard. Thank you.

Hi. I'm sorry to know about your diagnosis and that it's not obvious from where it came. PET scans can see if there are any places that suggest a tumor (or inflammation or infection) is present. I assume you've had one? There are usual suspects for malignant ascites. If the fluid hasn't returned perhaps you'll not need another paracentesis as early as Friday. However until the culprit is found and dealt with it is likely to return. From jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2757397 , "Certain cancers, such as ovarian, pancreatic, liver, and colon cancers, are more likely to cause ascites." Best of luck and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions, Janine

[@heyitsrick01]

Background noise of commentator and people LAUGHING is very distracting

Can taking diuretics makes the patient pee the current ascites in the abdominal cavity?

[@CancergraceOrg]

Yes diuretics are often the first treatment used to get rid of the fluid build up. The best treatment is to treat the cause, cancer in this case. The explanation of treatments in this video starts around 12 minutes into this video.
