Hi Annie, I agree with Sally. Contact your cancer nurse or GP. I know how uncomfortable this is.

Hi Annie. Telephone the CNS for a chat. Una went up a few times to be drained and then they eventually put a permanent drain in for her to save her having to go to hospital so often. Thinking of you. Ann Xo #Warriors

Hi Annie I agree re phoning for advice. I had ascites a couple times and it can build up quickly making you uncomfortable . I found the drain ok not too sore just a wee tiny bit uncomfortable coming out only.

Hope it all goes ok

Love

That sounds a long time to wait please phone the doctor's secretary or the gynae or oncoclogy nursing tem. I presume you have a number to call ? If not please get in touch with someone, through your GP of necessary as long as they will see you immediately and take it seriously.
