Hi, I exeprienced shortness of breath just this month and had to go to the ER. Their diagnosis was metastatic lung adenocarcinoma from fluid analysis (pleural effusion) from my thoracentesis 2 weeks ago. cytology report shows positive in mesothelial cells. Are there any targetted therapies for mesothelial cells. Any advice will be helpful. I will be meeting the oncologist tomorrow. thanks.

Hi @dnmca, I'm sorry to hear that you're facing this diagnosis. Lung cancer can be complicated, as there are many different types. I'm not aware of a targeted therapy related to mesothelial cells. How was your visit with the oncologist? What did they offer for treatment or next steps?

@dnmca, I thought I'd check in to see how you are doing. Did you learn more about your treatment plan?
