Hi all

So I've got terrible pleural effusion in left lung. Anyone had any joy these clearing up on chemo? On second cycle of Cape - hoping it works after palbociclib stopped working.

    I've got a drain fitted that I now manage at home. Cancer really is the gift that keeps on giving.

    I had it drained twice and it  worked.  Although it felt terrible at the time.  I’ve been on Kisqali and Fulvestran for a year now and I’m on remission Fingers crossed tone2Fingers crossed tone2Fingers crossed tone2(breast cancer  Lung mets ) 

  • I've got the same, pleural effusion in left lung. My oncologist has assured me that chemo will sort it out. I've only had one cycle, so keeping my fingers crossed.
