This explains exactly how my sister was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma stage 3 stomach cancer ,on 15dec 2023 and on 28 she developed ASCITES swollen stomach she's now in serious pain thw doctors from thw main hospital have abandoned her saying it's too late there is nothing they can do to save her life it's a huge stress for us but I'm a believer who strongly believes in god's miracles, I'll come here to tell her success stories soon oh later thank this chanel for the wonderful presentation

[@CancergraceOrg]

Hi, I'm so sorry your sister is going through this. If she isn't sure that nothing can be done to cure the cancer there maybe treatments to slow down the process. If no anticancer treatment is used hospice will manage comfort care and provide expertise for your sister and her family and caregivers.
If she isn't sure she's getting good care perhaps she can get another opinion from an academic, research hospital. I hope for the best for you and her, Janine

Can taking diuretics makes the patient pee the current ascites in the abdominal cavity?

[@CancergraceOrg]

Yes diuretics are often the first treatment used to get rid of the fluid build up. The best treatment is to treat the cause, cancer in this case. The explanation of treatments in this video starts around 12 minutes into this video.
