Dear Susan--This is your birthday buddy, Tricia. I want you to know I am praying for you and hoping all is well with the procedures tomorrow. Be sure to let us know how they turn out.. I have had plueresy several times, too, and know it is really painful. There doesn't seem to be too much to do for it but wait it out. The times I had it, though, it was associated with coughing from pnuemonia, so I would expect that your MD should give you antibiotics in case the pnuemonia is bacterial. I am annoyed with your onc's attitude! Have you talked to him about it? Can you get a second opinion from another MD---it doesn't have to be an ancologist. I doubt it is the cancer, but you need to know for sure. I will be watching for good news! Hugs, Tricia
