@cindysj You are a loving sister to care for and about your sister from such a distance. Are you currently in Minneapolis with her or does she have other family or a spouse to go to her appointments with her?
I’m glad you found us here on Mayo Clinic Connect and we can provide you with support and information. Google searches can be helpful but then again can be frightening and inaccurate. I look for respected and valid sources such as Mayo Clinic, NIH, Cleveland Clinic and others with .org, .gov or .edu (and mostly steer clear of websites that are .com).
Has your sister seen her GYNOncologist yet? If so, what recommendations did they make? And how are you doing today?

Sadly, Judy does not have any siblings who live nearby. I live in Florida, her other siblings, live in Portland, Maine and San Francisco. When she has important medical appointments, our sister-in-law in San Francisco get on the phone and takes notes. The sister-in-law has the most medical knowledge compared to any of the other siblings, myself included.
Judy did have an appointment with her gyno/oncologist yesterday. She has decided to do one more treatment. She was told that the success rate of this given what the doctors have learned about her cancer in the last year will be about 20 to 30%.
Today I have a lot of anxiety about her decision, but I fully support it. I’m not sure how this is going to help with the Ascities. Last week she has 6 L removed. She is very optimistic that the Ascities will stop. Thanks for asking about me.
