Fluid on both lungs

[Sarahdellar45]

Hi Everyone

So today I am going to have an operation to remove the fluid from my lungs. My surgeon has said that it is unusual to have fluid on both so he will drain the fluid from the left lung and repair the right. I am desperate to start Taxol this coming Thursday so I really hope there are no complications

Hi Sarah, i trust you'll have a success surgery. My mom just had her 1st Taxol 2 days ago.

So far so good. Glad that no obvious side effect yet. So, be positive to embrace it. Take good care!

Hi, have they said what's caused the fluid build up? Fingers crossed you're ok for the Taxol. Hugs.

Hi Sarah

Hope everything went well for you, and you can start that treatment this week.

If it’s of any interest, I have fluid on both lungs. More on the right that I can feel at times. Less on the left. I don’t even notice it.

You will start to feel better mentally once you start treatment. All the best. Clarex

Hi Clare

I came home tonight, it’s so good to be able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath!.

I see my consultant on weds and they’ve booked me in to start my chemo on Thursday. I’m sure I’ll feel so much better once I feel like I’m starting to kill the cells.

Can I ask, did your fluid keep coming back?

Lots of love

Sarah

Welcome home!!

You will definitely start to feel better in your head when you have treatment. Good luck with it, and keep us posted.

I’m not sure about my fluid returning. My nurse and I think it does come back, but not to the degree it did before treatment. I can tell when I get a certain pain in my side. I have bone Mets around about the same area, so it can be a little hard to differentiate. If Itake a deep breath I can feel a creak - it’s called pleural rub, and that’s when I know I have extra fluid. Thankfully though it comes and goes, and really doesn’t bother me much at all. I can continue as normal with it. Certainly nothing like before diagnosis.

Good luck for Thursday.
