Does anyone know if you can carry on having chemo tablets and still have ascites drained off your abdomen? My mum has ascites and she feels sick all the time but probably doesn’t want to be told to stop having her chemo tablets, she has inflammatory breast cancer.
Hi Ebba,
I’m so sorry, but I dont have have any knowledge of IBC, but just wanted to send you and your mum my best. I couldn’t just read this and not respond. Have you thought of giving the BCC helpline a call? They often have people at hand who have gone through, or have knowledge of, specific situations and so may well have words of wisdom for you. wishing you well and sending big hugs. Ann X X
