Cathy - In my case, there were several cancer lesions on the outer part of my right lung. I don't know exactly what makes the body create the fluid, maybe the body trying to attack the intruder or irritation. Kind of like when you get a blister and it fills up with fluid, but the fluid builds up between the lung and the chest wall. I am very happy I had the procedure done and highly recommend it if you are suffering, but I do suggest a pain killer when they pull the draining tubes out. My doctor was an excellent (thoracic) surgeon, but he had NO bedside manner or sympathy.
