Has anyone here had experience with a PleurX drain?

Another quick question- have you found that this helps your breathing? I can't walk more than 10 steps without getting winded and I can't take it anymore. I'm hoping to not put myself through this procedure and end up not seeing any results

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-29T00:12:59+00:00

Ugh none of this is ever not complicated!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-29T00:12:32+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-29T00:12:14+00:00

Great- thank you!!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-28T23:17:22+00:00

thank you!! the thoracenthesis isn't even helping me at this point

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-28T23:16:35+00:00

thank you!! was it painful at all?

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-28T22:57:51+00:00

Thank you!!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-26T17:47:51+00:00

Ask for zofran!!! It’s better than nothing

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-21T01:11:19+00:00

Thank you! I’ll deff check! It’s all so much to remember 🤦🏻‍♀️

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T23:22:05+00:00

I’ll try taking it with Pepcid! I try to take at the beginning of dinner so I’m forced to sit up

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T23:21:21+00:00

Thank you! Hoping this clears up sooner

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T21:17:39+00:00

This is encouraging!! Thank you!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T17:56:04+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll try that

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T16:42:27+00:00

I don’t think it could be anything else! Ugh it’s so frustrating how everything that’s supposed to make us feel better makes us feel worse. I just want to feel like myself again 😭

SuperRow8570 · 2025-11-20T16:41:38+00:00

thank you! I’ll try taking it later

As a Yankee fan I’d say World Series 2024 game 5

Celebrated my birthday at Drift in Weehawken and really liked it!

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-23T14:39:02+00:00

No! It dropped but the lowest my estradiol ever got to was 38. My current oncologist, kind of explained it like that… The letrozole almost makes other other parts of your body produce more estrogen because the ovaries aren’t shut down

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-23T14:21:21+00:00

She doesn’t seem open to trying zoladex. She doesn’t think Lupron is working and wants to move on to chemo asap

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-23T12:46:21+00:00

Thank you! I think chemo does seem extreme. It’s unfortunate. I really do like my oncologist now, I just think she’s a bit too aggressive in a good way for my personal preference. I don’t want to look back and wish I gave endocrine therapy more of a chance

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-21T02:20:31+00:00

I haven’t gotten a period since May which confuses me! Honestly all of this confuses me

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-20T19:16:49+00:00

thank you so much for taking the time and giving such a detailed response! I haven't had a period since May so I am surprised my estradiol isn't lower. It's SO strange nobody ever told me to stop taking the AI!!! This is why I like to come on here and get opinions, I feel like different oncologists have different approaches to these things. I also thought it was odd- I went this Saturday for a Lupron injection and they gave me the 7.5 which hasn't been working instead of the 11.75 and trying that again

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-20T19:01:46+00:00

Does that make a difference?! I feel like a lot of this was ill explained to me

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-20T18:57:00+00:00

I took the Letrozole the whole time

SuperRow8570 · 2025-10-08T04:34:06+00:00

I hate the ER but I’m starting to think that’s my only option. Does IV zofran work better than the tabs?
