Increased Pleural Effusion

Chemo #3 Day 19

Pa usually drains about 500 ml of fluid from Ma's lung every morning. For the past week, he's been having to drain her twice a day for an average of 900 ml/day. Her oncologist had hoped that the chemo would help dry up her effusion, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. I don't know if this is something to worry about.
