Hi - due to go into hospital to have a pleurodesis on 12/2/14 to hopefully prevent fluid build up. Expecting to have it done under GA using talc.
Has anyone had this done - what to expect? How long is recoverery?
I am really hoping this will hold back my internal flooding as breathing is definitely getting tricky.
Thanks Jacqui
Hi Jacqui
I had it done or should I say partly done 3 weeks ago. I had 2 litres drained off and my drain came out, there was a little fluid left but I was told it would too dangerous to go back in with so little fluid there.
The procedure was done under GA, I put myself into a relaxed state before I went into the room and I didn’t feel a thing and I wouldn’t be worried about having it done again.
Because the drain came out I couldn’t have the talc put in.
I felt the benefit straight away with no recovery time.

Hi Angel,
I’m so sorry to hear your news and was wondering how you are hunny? It’d be lovely to hear from you.
I hope that you’ve had your pleurodesis and it’s worked for you.
Sending you lots of love and a massive hug.
Chris xxxx
