Subject: [aptaoncology] LE/Abominal treatment with metastatic peritoneal carcinamatosis
Hello,
I work in a very rural setting in MN. I have a 78yr old female patient with metastatic breast cancer ER PR positive HER-2 negative, and metastatic ovarian cancer, and peritoneal carcinamatosis. She is experiencing progressing LE and abdominal edema, constipation/diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. From oncology notes, she appears to be close to transitioning to compassionate care.
I do not have enough experience treating lymphedema in patients whose cancer is actively contributing to and progressing their edema or treating lymphedema at end of life.
Can anyone direct me to resources that may help me establish effective treatment plans for this type of client to help her manage quality of life and comfort?
Thank you.
Jennifer Windels, PT, CLT
