My Mom had Stage 3 colon cancer. Had surgery doing well. Now has many fluid problems. Had a catheter put in right lung stomach looks pregnant extended legs below knee swollen . She is 93 very healthy till then. Last few days has had a liter of fluid drained from lung. What do you think is causing this
We have to check if there is metastasis in the lungs and did the aspirated fluid showed positivity for malignant cells. Secondly generalized swelling may be associated with low protein level in the body
