Brief Answer:
Please get a CT and consult and oncologist

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem but I am glad to know that you are dealing with it in a positive manner. You are rightly getting regular tests done and that will help you and your oncologist monitor the disease. The current symptoms you are suffering from, warrant a CT scan of the abdomen to see the extent of the disease. Kindly schedule an appointment with your oncologist and get a CT as soon as possible.

Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
