Thank you. I'm in week 4. If your leak cleared up in 6 weeks, I'll hold on that long. The second thoracentesis provided so much relief - I'm cautiously optimistic right now that I'm healing. Since this leak started right after surgery, I'm not sure how my body sans a lung lobe should feel!

@kkckkjm, checking in to see how you are doing. I wanted to let you know that I moved this discussion to the Lung Cancer group. I'd also like to tag @sweetgia003 on this discussion who experienced a chyle leak when she had a thyroidectomy with neck dissection.

I think you are in week 5 or 6 now. How is the healing going?
