My husband has had 300ccs of fluid taken off his lungs and over four months of pain in the left side. The thorencentisis did not help. Do you think the pain is pleurisy or something else? Hello: I wrote the above. Unfortunately we got the results of a biopsy of the plural effusions and he has stage 4 lung cancer. They are going to be aggressive in their attempt to cure this. Need a miracle.
Your husband is suffering from stage 4 lung cancer. Aim of treatment during this stage is palliative chemotherapy with basic supportive care. With palliative chemotherapy average survival time is from 6 to 9 months. Regards DR DE
