I was recently diagnosed with is beer okay with Adenocarcinoma cancer . I had a persistant cough and then shortness of breath. The doctor said an infection of the lower right lobe. Then he x-rayed and discovered water in my right lung . They drained 6cm of water, then they said it contained cance cells, which they determined to be is beer okay with Adenocarcinoma, can they determine this from the sample?
Hi, you have got adenocarcinoma, side and site are not mentioned. Anyway, probably you have got adenocarcinoma lung. It can spread to pleura causing pleural effusion, if malignant cells are positive in effusion fluid then the disease is upstaged so treatment protocol to be selected accordingly. Consult your doctor in this issue. Take care.
