I had surgery in January and finished 8 cycles of carboplatin in April. In september i had a raised ca125 but the ct scan came back clear, the last couple of weeks i felt very unwell, lots of flatulence and belching and then the dreaded swelling of the abdomen started, i had an appointment with my onc on thursday to be told that it was a waste of time to examine me and i needed another ct scan which would be done within 2 weeks. I was pretty disgusted as i was in agony but our lives are in their hands. On Friday i just could not bare it any longer and ended up in A & E to be told that my liver was slightly enlarged, I had a UTI and possible asictes. After an ultrasound scan on Sunday a drain was put on and 6 litres of fluid was removed. I was told the ultrasound apart from the ascites did not show anything untoward. At present i have been told that they can not give me any answers until they receive the cytology. I'm praying that the ascites was due to something else other than a recurrence. I don't know if i'm just being silly or going into denial. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Has anyone else had a recurrence of ascites that was not due to a recurrence of cancer or am i just trying to kid myself? Any answers would be much appreciated.

Has anyone had problems with Atos?
Has anyone experienced upper abdominal pain after completing chemo?
Treatment has ended.
Never thought that I would be writing this post
Hi has anyone else had these side effects?
