Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my son has fluid in his abdomen. He has been sick to his stomach and not been able to eat. He has been getting very shaky and not sleeping. Not sure if he has been throwing up for he is in Florida and I am in Tennessee he has just been admitted to hospital for further testing. Can he have cancer (I pray that is not what it is) he is 23 years old.
