Suggest Treatment For Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer
My mom just got diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer. Had a hysterectomy, they removed everything plus omentum, spleen, samples of lymph nodes. Yesterday she should have gone home but now has fluid on her lungs (she had a partially collapsed lung last week). Does this have to do with the surgery or the cancer???

Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
yes, this is probably pleural effusion which is commonly seen after such procedures and this is not concern at this point. she needs chemotherapy but prognosis is generally poor.
Wish you good health. Regards
