Pericardial effusion

Hello,

My brother has kidney cancer mets on lungs and his scan now shows some fluid around his heart. It sounds as though there will now be a procedure to drain the fluid and it needs to be tested to see if there any cancer cells present. After that, his immunotherapy medication may have to be changed - perhaps chemo, even though he is currently on TiVozanib. 

Does anyone have any experience of this diagnosis or process? 

sending very best wishes to all,

    I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
