Oncologist 's  Response
Since you have a diagnosis of breast cancer on biopsy, your oncologist will now request for staging investigations including imaging of chest and an ultrasound scan of abdomen. Your midriff (abdominal) swelling can be due to cancer metastases and ultrasound scan will rule it out.
Please discuss it with your oncologist.
