I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 4 months ago and a pigtail catheter was inserted into my abdomen by a interventional radiologist under anesthesia. My husband drains the accites at home. I'm on to my 4th chemo therapy and the accites has greatly reduced. Before chemo 8 litres of accites was usually drained every two to three weeks. Now its 1 litre every 3 weeks. Also my blood pressure is monitored at home during drainage as once it starts to go low the drainage is stopped.

I just found this video, thank you. Hopefully I can get some guidance. My current doctors here are not helpful in the least.
