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

I had a pleural effusion since my lung cancer bi-lobectomy in 2000. Twenty three years later it is still there. No one has ever suggested draining it and I have never asked.

WOW!!! Really? Does it bother you at all? Mine feels really weird. Unless it's just still swelling from my surgery that I'm feeling.. do you have any trouble breathing or anything like that?
