  • Hello Scec31, 

    So sorry to hear your dad has pancreatic cancer and that ascites have been drained a week ago. We have a detailed information page on our website on ascites which you might find useful. As your dad is still in pain, it might be worth informing his medical team and asking them for advice on how best to deal with this pain and to check that everything is ok. 

    I hope that things get better soon for your dad and if you have any questions, our cancer nurses have a helpline you can call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
