Lung mets/pleural effusion

Gillian,

I have mets to lungs and liver. I had rapid progression to both this past winter. My cough was horrible. I would cough until I choked. They did a chest x-ray and found that my pleural effusion had progressed. That is fluid around the lung. They did a thoracentesis (drained it) and I had immediate relief. Just wondering if this cough could be from fluid?

warmly,

Judiek
