Hello,
4 months ago my mother underwent removal of her left breast due to cancer, however the surgery went well and since her cancer non-agressive it did not spread. Currently my mother is back in the hospital for excessive fluid in her stomach and lungs. Can anyone let me know if this is a sign of presence of cancer cells. The doctors has tested the enezymes in her blood and stated cancer was not present however after draining 4 liters from her stomach the fluid is back. It is now located in stomachs and traveled to her lungs. The doctors have performed chestrays and determined she has a small blood clot in her lungs. A pulmunary doctor will be visiting her on Mon. I would like to know if there any specfic test the doctors should be conducting and can my mother die from this excessive fluid. I have prayed and know God answers prayers however I need information to make sure the doctors are following the correct procedures and tests.
Would you give us an update? The doctors can imbedded tray to remove those excessive fluids. Yes, a person can die if they drown in fluid and unable to rescue in-time - in result of difficulty in breathing, buy a small Oxygen finger test to monitor your mom O2 level, once it drops to 90 % start call 911.
Best wishes,
Regards,
