hello: 5 months ago my mother 52 years old had a breast mastectomy ,gladly she needed no chemeoterapy nor radioterapy.. she has a lupus systemic followed by a shurgen she takes for it salargen.. about the cancer she's only taken percocet and eltarol as pain releases.The mastectomy is followed by a reconsrtuction with a salt water ballon which is filled each month, the treatment is going very well ,however she had an hormonal change i'm not quite sure why.
she put up 15 kilogrames in less than 3 months which is unusual for her genetic built,she has trouble breathing at night..but specialy her stomac seems to be inflated with no reason , it is fullfiled with air and it is hard as a rock..Do you what can be the reason?

I would suggest that your Mother see a Dr. who specializes in Internal Medicine about these new symptoms you describe. I see no connecting between her weight gain, breathing problmes and stomach issue and the cancer or reconstruction. I do advise that she see someone as soon as possible as this could be due to some other rather serious medical problem.  Regards ....
