JCM, Lots of folks have fluid removed to deal with a pleural effusion. Normally, this eases breathing and reduces pain and pressure. I'm not sure I understand the effusion in terms of cancer that's metastasized beyond the chest wall. Normally irritation of pleura tissue causes the build up of fluid and the irritation is generally due to metastatic activity in the pleura. Stay the course. Tom

DFK is a bell ringer! Stay the course. Tom
