Hi, I'm stage 4 breast cancer, on ribociclib and fulvestrant. I have just been diagnosed with a pleural effusion. Having it drained on Friday, anybody on here had the same?
Hello Onwards, welcome. Hopefully someone here who has had a pleural effusion will get in touch but it might be worth posting your message on the Secondary Breast Cancer Forum too as a search there shows a few previous posts about pleural effusion. Here's a link:
