Lu ann, I am sorry the procedure did not work for you. I have been watching for your post as I am probably right behind you in getting this done myself. I had another draining done on the right lung Wednesday where they drew off a quart of fluid. My left one has some but they say thye don't want to do both because if the lung does col. than they both will. Its better to have only one at a time. Did they put in a Denver catheter for continuous draining? I was told they can do it but than, there is the risk of infection. Did you have anything showing in the lungs of your scans or was this a surprise for you to find this out? I honestly, don't know where we stand here-only God knows. We are still on the road here and until we fall off we will not give up or I will not. I am frustrated because I am not use to being this quiet and I am not sick just real tired from shortness of breath. Will continue tol keep you in my prayers and hang in there my dear sister. Its not over until its over! Keep us posted Sending you a big hug, Sandy
