My mom is very ill and no one has a clue. Here is a little history, she was hospitalized in feb with ascites, they drew off 4 ltrs and put her on a very low sodium diet, have done a ca 125,numbers were 885, said she had ovarian cancer, then primary peritoneal carcinoma, removed a large cyst and did 2 biopsies of her liver, and found no malignancies drew off another 5 plus liters during surgery. The ascites after surgery cause her incision site to open, we are now packing and cleaning several times a day. Her gastroenterologist told her today he has done all can, she goes back to the oncologist fri. She continues to weaken daily.Please, please, please if anyone has any ideas or knows of someone with a simular situation contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for any help you can give,
bev
