Thank you everyone.
My MIL is being treated in Austin. She has had 2 drains because of fluid build up. A recent ultrasound showed that fluid had spread to the lungs. We ended up in ER on Sunday as she was not able to eat. Even an ice chip caused her to vomit. They gave her fluids and changed her nausea meds and she was released on Tuesday. We were thankful to have her home for Thanksgiving. I am just terrified she won’t see Christmas as I know ascites has been cited as ‘end stage’ symptoms.
Is there anything else we can do? She is having chemo but misses her second week because the first week always takes so much out of her. They have reduced her dose of chemo but that didn’t help. I spoke with the Drs PA and she did state the tumor markers were down slightly but there was increasing involvement of the omentum. The doctors seem to talk in riddles and I don’t feel very informed at all
