in Peritoneal Cancer #1

i was originally diagnosed with stage 3 **** cancer in 2015, the necessary surgery was performed followed by 6 months of chemo from which i was told i was now clear. However this year cancer has returned in the form of peritoneal mastasis.

together with this i have ascities fluid build up with the first drain on the 20th March (4litres) and again on the 3rd Aprill (6litres).

i have started on a new chemo program but the abdominal pain is constant causing no sleep.

does anyone know of effective pain management?

Thanks

TrevorHB
