Try to redouble your efforts to restrict salt intake. Try to avoid prepared foods altogether as well as cold cuts and cured meats. Regular tea and green tea may help some in flushing fluid out. I tried looking on Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's cancer treatment alternative therapies board at http://www.mskcc.org for something helpful but struck out. I wish I could have offered more assistance.

Dear Denise, Thank you for the suggestion. I will give the web for Sloan a peek. Saw the Onc today and he thinks we should push the diuretis a bit. So, along with the green tea and my other avenues I will keep "sloshing" ;-) along. I sure hope you are not struggling with this same problem. The trips for the paracentisis are NO FUN, that is one big needle. Just say OUCH. Lots of love to you. LisaDeeNY711 said:Try to redouble your efforts to restrict salt intake.
