Hi everyone,

My mother has stage IV breast cancer that has metastasized to the bones and liver. She has been treated for it and recently she has started having ascitis in the abdomen. The doctor said no need to drain it currently because the fluid is no much, but i am a bit concerned about it and wanted to ask you guys if there are ways to make her feel better ? Cuz she has been feeling bloated and tightness when breathing (even though oxygen levels are normal)
