    Chemo brain doesn't make you stupid, just forgetful

    A question about this evil fluid?
    I had 500 ml (2 cups) drained at surgery. My ONC says it comes back....why? How can you tell. Now i get scared everytime i have heartburn. I also still get full quick. What are the signs that it is filling up again?

    Please advise....

    Susan

    Susan...
    I feel the same about the ascites. It's natural to not want that in your abdomen. The trouble is as you point out in your own way, there's no real way to know it's building up. What I'd say is that my build up has slowed down since my chemo took hold and I hope yours does too. It's one of the aims of the chemo I think and I have heard that sometimes the chemo can unclog a lymph blockage. Take very good care... Sue
