[|Human|] After a ct scan, My doctor told me that I had a very large tumor.It seems to be located just below my left rib cage. I noticed that when I am sitting or standing I cannot feel any pressure but when lying on my back, I feel pressure from under my lower rib cage, I was also told that the tumor was filled with water and fat. The Doctor seemed to be certain that it is malignant. and I should go om Hospice, I have no pain. I have heard that such tumors can be drained with a needle. Would you please give me your thoughts on my problem? Mel Jensen age 86.
[|AI|]  Hi dear thanks for the query on ChatDoctorat many centers they can operate the tumor at age of 86 also. Kindly go to hospital where all the facilities are available. Once tumor free you will feel better. If the tumor is large enough and have involved many important vessels and if surgery is not feasible then hospice is an alternate. Kindly ask your doctor to refer to a higher center where it can be handled well. Thank you
