Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Dear , I have found that different doctors handle the pleural effusions in different ways. When I was on Sprycel, they just took me off, because I also had pericardial effusions as well and pneumonia. Some doctors want you to take Lasix, but mine doesn't advise taking it, even though my local internist wants me on it. I am torn between the two, but I stick with my oncologist who does research and publishes a lot of papers in journals. I am another trial and have had pleural effusions for several months. My pulmonologist is not doing any follow ups, so I am thinking of going back to Ochsner in New Orleans. Hearts & hands, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
