Has anybody out there ever had a drain put in to help in getting rid of pleural effusions? I am on Gemzar and herceptin but, while the combo is working to reduce size of mets in lungs, it is not working fast enough to get rid of the fluid so my onc is suggesting a drain that I will empty myself when needed. I asked him how many months this would go on and he told me it would probably be a matter of days or weeks. I would appreciate ANY info anyone out there has regarding this subject. Thanks in advance!!!
