Fluid build up in the lung cavity

Hi @tedvoelker, With 13 thoracentesis procedures in a year you have every right to be frustrated. I'm sure you just want to feel better and get on with living your life.
Here's a link to a pleural effusion discussion.

Unfortunately, the fluid buildup can be common. Is your oncologist following this issue closely? Has the Tagrisso kept the tumors in check?

I see my oncologist monthly while I’m experiencing the issue with this fluid. While I have fluid it’s difficult to assess the tumours I have. So far from what I can tell the Osimertinib has been good.
