Good afternoon. My husband has heart disease and has also been treated [chemo and radiotherapy] for lung cancer. Following an echocardiogram and also a CT scan for a 3 month lung check-up both tests showed excess fluid in the right lung. He will have a lung aspiration procedure this Tuesday. Can anyone help me please with information regarding this procedure and also how long recovery from this intrusion may take. Thanking you all so very much in advance. Zebra
Hi zebra
Janice has had a number of times she has needed air removed but I understand the process is fairly similar. Our local hospital gives out this patient information leaflet that might be helpful
