Hi there well I have no experience with drains but hopefully the fact that the fluid output is now decreasing its a good sign. The weather is cool here although dry but certainly not the summer weather we expected.

I have no experience with drains either Annie but you could have a chat with Specialist Oncology Nurse or Consultant and see what they think? Less is good though????

Take care and hope you get rid of Your "worm" soon!

Love Wendy xxx

Hi Celtic,sorry to hear your being drained (in more ways than one ) ,I had over 2 st of fluid drained from my abdomen,They have to do it over days as if they drain too much at one time then there's a danger of blood pressure dropping,They usually go by your weight on how much may be fluid,My weight is regularly checked by my G.p and if it shows it's gaining abnormally then I would be sent in for more draining,All I know is,the relief when fluid is drained is immense.Hopefully you'll feel a lot better soon and that you get the right information and support.x x
