Post-Lobectomy Pleura build up - does it ever resolve on its own?

I still have pleura build up that comes and goes, and my lobectomy surgery for stage 4 LC was 2 yrs ago. I have not had it drained but just try to tolerate the discomfort. I haven't yet figured out a cause for it coming and going.

@iris1, that is interesting (and good) that the build up resolves itself. How long does it usually last? Has your team suggested draining?
