Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your sister in law and understood your concerns.
Since it is diagnosed and treated case of Ovarian cancer and already had Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy after the ovarian cyst rupture indicates the following reasons for her symptoms of pain in stomach, indigestion, vomiting and getting repeatedly admitted to the hospital.
The rupture of the ovarian cyst with cancer can spread the cancer extensively.
Surgery itself can have complications of intra-abdominal adhesions.
Radiotherapy directly affects the organs exposed to.
Hence I would advise her the following in such a situation:
Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen.
Tests of blood and urine.
If there is any obstruction, she would need surgical correction, maintenance of good hemoglobin and serum proteins.
I find this answer helpful
