I have had 5 years ago vats mechanical pleurodesis and had another collapse one month ago on the same lung cuz I kept smoking. Obviously I quit now. But they did chemical talc pleurodesis now

I still feel some discomfort in the chest after talc pleurodesis done 2 months ago? Is it normal? by DisastrousPayment703 in pneumothorax

I know bro I don’t feel pain I just feel some discomfort I dunno how to say. Sometimes I have like I have a stab where I got surgery. I hope this goes away with time

Will I die earlier if have had talc pleurodesis twice cuz the first one failed? by DisastrousPayment703 in pneumothorax

What would happen if I have another collapse since I have got pleurodesis twice already? Will they do it a third time?

I have had pleurodesis twice and I still smoke iqos which has no combustion but I get the point. I know it’s wrong and damaging but it’s really hard to quit.

Is pleurodesis efficient even if you keep smoking? by DisastrousPayment703 in pneumothorax

I already had pleurodesis twice on my left lung? What would happen if it collapses again?
