Hello ladies,
Mom began her third line treatment of Doxil April 21st. She goes for her second treatment May 19th.
Yesterday, we noticed Mom's stomach has really shrunk the last few days. I know I am grasping at straws but is there any chance the chemo is starting to work?

    YES!
    When the cancer goes away, the ascites goes away...this is a VERY GOOD SIGN!
