My posts bring up some good questions. So, everyone wants to know why I don't just get the fluid drained from my abdomen. In fact, I did that twice during the first dance with cancer. The first time they drained 1 liter and the second time they drained 2 liters.
Here is the problem; when they drain the fluid, it comes back almost immediately and with even more volume than before. The relief is only temporary. Another issue with removing the fluid is the removal of very needed protein.
Thus, leaving the fluid alone is best if one can stand the pressure.
