Pleural Effusion Treatment
Has anyone ever had the chest tube treatment (with antibiotic) to stop pleural effusion? I have had two taps so far and will probably need a third tap next week. After that, if the fluid doesn't stop building up, my onc wants me to have the tube inserted. UGH!
I have mets to the right pleural lining which is causing the fluid. If anyone has experience, please let me know what to expect.
Thank you!
Debbie
