Hello! I am writing for any perspective on what my mom is currently going through. In mid-August I took her to ER with a distended belly, after a CT, was told she had metatstatic cancer but as they were not sure of the primary source, ordered a bunch of diagnostic tests. Everything came back fine, aside from a comment indicating that the right ovary could not be seen. After a month of frustration, told that the cancer is either ovarian that has metastasized to the peritoneal or the primary is peritoneal. Given her very frail and weakened state, she had one round of chemo using only one drug instead of the standard two, within 48 hours the fluid returned and the oncologist indicated that quality of life is the best option at this point. The ascites returns within 2-3 days and she is living with us receiving palliative nursing visits. Thank you so much for reading my post and providing any thoughts or comments. Much appreciated.
