That is great! I had to look up chylothroax. Sounds like pleural effusion which I was just in the hospital for last week where they drew it out with a needle and catheter? What kind of scans? CT or PET. I guess CT. I am still absorbing all this. Counselor this morning said I was about ready for a nursing home!! Since i am not recovering well or functioning and then ordered a palliative care urgent referral. Just had lobectomy aug 6. thaks for the info. My lymphs were canceroous. How could they be sure that there were lymph nodes they didn't get that were cancereous? Like, for me, I forget how many they took out and 2-3 were cancerous--i forget. Just seems like my doctor would have ordered chemo even if i hadn't had those cancerous lymphs found in case they missed some. Just learning and thanks for sharing that with me!! all of this is helping me understand. (doctor gave me 2 side effects of chemo and sent me on my way)
