Overian cancer stage 3 fluid in abdomen

My mum has been diagnosed  with stage 3 overian cancer. She has just come out off hospital following diognosis. She has the fluid drain but after only 2 weeks the fluid is back with swollen feet. We have not yet heared anything from the specialist hospital following the referral from hospital, not sure what to do.

  • Hello Kimst

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and that she is struggling with some side effects at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned about her. 

    You could get in touch with the specialist team that she's been referred to and ask when she may be likely to get an appointment. In the meantime, you might want to call her GP about the symptoms she is dealing with if she doesn't have a named hospital Consultant. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our team of nruses you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    I hope that things improve for her soon. 

    Best wishes,
