mysecondchance's Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) Experience

Fluid in the abdomen (ascites)

One of the first symtoms I had was bloating. I had been on a diet and yet my tummy seemed to be protruding more. As I got sicker my stomach began to stick out more and more until I looked like I was about 7 months pregnant. A couple of days after my diagnosis I had 5 liters of fluid removed and another 3 liters a week later. That gave me such relief. Once the chemo began I didn't have that problem anymore.
