What Does Presence Of Fluid In Pelvic Area Post Cancer Treatment Indicate?
I was diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer in August 2016 Had surgery and completed 18 rounds of Chemo with Taxol every treatment and Carboplatin every three treatments. I had a CT scan two weeks after the last Chemo and it showed fluid in the pelvis. I m concerned because that s how the whole thing started. My Gynocologic Oncological surgeon and my oncologist are not concerned. My CA125 was 484 before surgery and now it s 4. In remission, but the fluid in the pelvis and a nodule on the right lower lobe which they said is stable worries me.

Hello,
Fluid in pelvis shows inflammation that is caused even by cancer. It often causes pain.
There is a probability of fluid being there since long ago when you were first diagnosed. It is with no concern since your oncologist says so.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
