Dad over two weeks in a short stay ward
He has infections, pulmonary oedema,
pleural
effusion
and cellulitis but all are now clear, even his blood, and yet his infection markers keep going up and down and he remains on intravenous antibiotics. He has a fungal infection due to the antibiotics, I assume, and remains catheterised.

W7R1 first five mins ?
Phew that was a hot one ! Not sure why but I am finding that in the first five minutes of my longer run I'm really struggling with my breathing, then it just seems to sort itself out. Can't believe that I am actually running for 25 mins non stop, 11 years ago I had a spinal fusion and never thought I'd

End of Trial
If I did not have to this rare
pleural
effusion
on my right called a chylothorax. I think he would recommend a treatment break. I have had two drains in the last month and my breathing is becoming more uncomfortable. I due to see my oncologist next Wednesday for an end of trial appointment.

Another GP story
I saw another GP at the practice yesterday, as I was experiencing worrying breathlessness. She suggested an xray referral, and I explained I had a chest xray within the past 3 months. She then asked about oedema and I told her I had already had a perfusion scan and no heart problems were detected. She

Remission (YAY!) and post chemo immune boosters
The stage 4 diagnosis was only due to the
pleural
effusion
, which was not malignant and has completely resolved. The cancer had not spread to any other organs.

CLL and pleural effusion
Any info on treatments that not only treat CLL but clear continued accumulation of fluid. I am not in end stage and CLL numbers are not that high- the main symptom is the effusion, which needs repeated draining.

Just plain scared now.
I’ve been having sudden episodes of acute chest pain for about six years. The first time I went, the GP just fobbed me off - said he had no idea what it was, but reassured me that I didn’t have cancer. I had a really bad episode at the end of February. I went back and saw another GP, who referred me

Neal Snyder's journey
Their scans revealed
pleural
effusion
as well as tumors in the lungs. On February 22 he was told the cancer had taken an even more aggressive turn. In addition to the
pleural
effusion
, he also had pericardial effusion (heart). This is extremely rare for prostate cancer.

My Sister was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer
Her initial diagnosis was
pleural
effusion
. They extracted close to a gallon of liquid from the lining (pleura). The test results to identify treatment are not complete yet since markers will be identified for special treatment which hopefully won’t be chemo.

Pleural Effusion
Hi I was admitted to hospital on Wednesday with stabbing pains and difficulty breathing without pain. Thought I’d pulled some muscles doing yoga! My markers are up so suspected infection. Awaiting blood cultures and echocardiogram result. X-ray showed fluid, they have drained 700 ml from the space

Lost the plot
I’m at a quandary to what or where I’m going in other words I’m lost. I have had PMR for about 18 months or a bit more as it’s hard to determine the exact time it started. Here’s my story. It mainly affected my upper arms which became impossible to lift but with normal bloods I was given Pred by my GP

All for nothing
Also he has a

(fluid on his lung) and there's a big problem with some kind of obstruction , they called it nodes, preventing his food from being processed through his digestive system, fluid had all backed up swelling his stomach and they've been aspirating this through a naso-gastric
