About a month ago my mum told me she'd been having some symptoms (fluid build up in stomach, feeling full and needing to urinate frequently) and that she'd had blood tests and a scan which showed something concerning. She was referred to a Gynaecologist who said whilst her ovaries looked ok she was also concerned and sent her for a number of CT scans. A MacMillan nurse called on Monday and told her they'd seen something on the scans and wanted her to go to have some fluid drained from the site and a biopsy taken. She is awaiting a formal diagnosis about it all.
I have done what I know I shouldn't and gone to Google and from what I can see ascites when caused by cancer is often the sign of advanced cancer...does anyone have any experience of this?
It just doesn't feel real at the moment as she doesn't seem ill...and all this waiting around is so hard x
