@dalegantous I had ascites. It can be unpleasant. How long will it take to get the results from the scan? I have been living on capecitabine for three years. The last two years, I only took capecitabine. It has kept things stable for me.

@tomrennie Well that gives me hope, thank you Tom. I'd love to make it another 3 years on capecitabine, that would let me get into my 70s! CT results came back, ascites confirmed but also some progression(boo). I hope to get the ascites under control this week if they can fit me in for paracentesis.
Ascites is making it harder and harder to eat, not great when I'm down to 89 pounds (pre-cancer weight was 107 - I'm not a big girl).

Thanks for all comments!
