Hi,
the pulmonary surgeon is called a thoracic surgeon and he would be your best bet for a consult.
i had the pleuradesis done on both lungs last year, yes it is effective, but there are drawbacks which were not mentioned. possible lasting side effects could be a lung that doesn't fully inflate and you could end up with trapped fluid that cannot be removed.
the surgeon is going to be your best advisor and will be able to explain the pros and cons (you actually have a few options) and be able to answer your questions.
i personally chose not to go the drainage tube route. I have four children and felt that was not an option for me. I was on the tax/carb/herceptin combo at the time.
