    Dear Pepe
    It could be Ascites.

    Please see your doctor soonest, and ask for an ultrasound to be done.

    Wishing you feeling better very very soon.

    Hugs,

    Marie who loves kitties

    had pet scan last Wednesday, nothing in there beside my lymph
    nodes shrinking, I think is more a question of chemo, actually in the morning no bloated it's after my coffee and lunch!
    Love you Marie!

    Dear Pepe
    Glad to hear that pet scan showed good results.

    Try eliminating the caffine and see if that helps.

    Love ya and hugs from the Easter Bunny!

    Hi Pepe, I don't have any
    Hi Pepe, I don't have any answer for you, I haven't had that chemo. combination, but I find now my stomach is happy if I just eat a large salad for lunch, with tuna. Anything else I feel bloated till dinner time. So happy your nodes are shrinking and you had a good CT scan.
