    Hi Sorella, Welcome to the board, I am so sorry you have to be here. But you have found a place full of support, care and concern.

    I had fluid in my abdomen that did end up having to be drained. Sometimes the chemo takes care of it sometimes not. It depends on what is causing the fluid build up. Give the chemo a try and if it isn't going away ask to have it drained.

    Prayers and Hugs
