Seeking Advice Pigtail drain of Abdomen
Hi, my mother is suffering with ascites as a result of CA Ovary, she is no more on Chemo after surgery due to extreme side effects and the current prognosis is poor. As Palliative care, doctor has advised for Pigtail drain in her abdomen but I don't have any reference apart from internet to consult if such a step would be advisable considering her poor health, weakness, age. Currently we are doing weekly paracentesis in nearby hospital. Doctor has informed us of chances of infection and blockage which we fear Of course but I would like to get some inputs on the benefits as this weekly poking of needle is taking a toll on her. We would want her to be as comfortable as possible. Kindly suggest.

Armpit pain
Hi - I have been having pain in my left armpit for 2 weeks and my doctor suggested a breast ultrasound. There were enlarged lymph nodes found in both armpits - was wondering if this is worrisome as radiologist said they were benign and didn't need further testing. I had Covid in January and also shaved both my armpits recently. Also a cyst was found in the left breast. How soon should I go for repeat testing should it be one year or within a few months ? Should I also ask for a mammogram as radiologist did not suggest. My ultrasound in July was Birads 1 and now Birads 2 - does this require closer follow up.

Left breast slightly heavier than right
I got my annual breast check-up done 3 months back. Everything was fine. But since 1 week my left breast is feeling slightly heavier than right. My periods are due in the next few days.
Should I be worried ? Can this mean cancer?
