My husband was recently (6/20/14) diagnosed with prostate cancer. He also has nodules on his lungs and most recently they did a procedure and withdrew 2100 cc of fluid from his lungs. It is a week later and we are back in the hospital with the lung full of fluid again. Oh and his Gleason score was 9. What should I expect?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your husband is having malignant pleural effusion due to metastatic spread in pleura from prostate cancer. So get done pleural fluid cytology to rule out this. Your husband is having stage 4 prostate cancer as he is having lung nodule. So only palliative treatment is advisable.  For malignant pleural effusion, pleurodesis should be done. In this both pleural surface are make to adhere by talc. It is done through either periscope or horoscope. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss pleurodesis as cure for pleural effusion.
