Secondline treatment with Avastin/Doxil
During that time I struggled with ascities, having 3
paracentesis
between treatments 2-4. My CA125 was always up and down. After my last treatmen I was an 86. My Oncologist did a pelvic exam (which was normal) and ordered a CT Scan. The CT showed mild to moderate ascities still present.

What my dads last months were like with ESLD (part 1 June-July)
The doctor scheduled regular
paracentesis
(he's had them in the past, just never on a regular schedule) and scheduled him with his regular liver doctor and now referred him to a kidney doctor.

Seems everyone bleeds but I have extremely low platelets and when I do I do not want to be present for that or all the prodding, poking and twisting they do with needle, drain, tube, ect. I am going

Getting regular/routine Large Volume Paracentesis (LVP) for Ascities
Firstly, what a really informative forum, thank you. I would like to help my friend who has decompensated cirrhosis (diagnosis in 2015) and has severe ascites requiring frequent LVP drains. It seems that the only way she is accessing this treatment is via the A&E or EAU route (whereby she is already

They injected another dose of antibiotics yesterday during

BM from listeria
The infection isn't retreating from her meninges, and the doctors had to inject antibiotics during
paracentesis
. She will do some more tests today, including an mri and blood tests. They are are afraid of having developed septicemia and other serious complications.

He was booked on for weekly outpatient
paracentesis
treatment, which require blood tests at the hospital the day before to ensure his blood would clot properly for the
paracentesis
to take place (also advised not to take the Fragmin for 24 hours before the
paracentesis
).

Post paracentesis painful lump
I had a
paracentesis
procedure prior to starting my chemo. After draining about 5 litres of fluid the site dried up but I'm left with an egg-shaped, fist size, hard and slightly painful lump at the entry point of the drain. Has anyone else experienced this?
