The plurel space generated liquid due to the presence of cancers or other foreign matter. Prodesis procedure is an attempt to glue the two surfaces together by irritating the surface with talc. I would imagine that your lung is partially glued together and partially left with plurel space. Therefore, although the procedure is not ideally successful, this is certainly not the end of the road. Your onc will figure out another way to help the situation.
A new chemo agent might be the best answer to your current situation. Have courage and talk to your medical team for best alternatives. Best luck.
