further to my post yesterday I did manage to see a thorsacic surgeon and he confirmed that the congestion is not in the pleura but is a 'wetness' that the lungs cannot take care of, so there is nothing to drain, if Im making myself clear.

And yes, I have had a CT scan plus lung xray which confirmed that the lung tumours have grown in size and number...started a 3-combination chemo last Monday and have Xeloda lined up if the xray shows no improvement in three weeks time, after that we are trying to get Lapatinib....fingers crossed.

At the same time, I am leaving it all in God's hands, have a lovely prayer group where I go to every week and this has totally changed my perspective...

thanks again and prayers for you all
