Have Fluid Accumulation In Abdomen. Series Of Tests Done. No Medication Currently. What To Do?

Hello Doctor
My mom is going through series of tests and awaiting results. The first impression after CT scan shows that it might be Koch's abdomen. But the result also suspects malignancy. She has mild fluid accumulation in the abdomen and this has been sent for tests along with CA 125 test too. Results are awaited.

She is currently not on any medication as the results are awaited. She has the pain persisting on her abdominal area (in and around).

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
Your mother had pain in the abdomen, got many tests C.T.scan, which showed possibility of koch's abdomen, or malignancy, she had mild fluid accumulation in abdomen. CA 125 test also done.
You didn't mention the age, Koch's possibilities are a bit less because it may not develope instantly, so there are more possibilities for malignancy.
CA 125(carbohydrate antigen, a biomarker) test is to identify the MUC antigen to diagnise the ovarian cancer in the begening.
You would have asked your doctor for temporary relief of pain, till the results comes.
Wishing her a comfertable life .
Best regards.
