Just when I began to hope that the pleural effusion was due to my bronchitis, reality stepped in with the brief statement from the initial cytology report: “Right pleural fluid, thoracentesis - - Positive for malignant cells. - Metastatic carcinoma, compatible with a breast primary tumor”
Now I wait for today’s PET scan results.

That was quick! The PET scan was negative, meaning that
no growths or tumors were found. That’s a Hallelujah!
Next week I have two appointments with my oncologist.
On Monday, I’m going in for a consult. I want to find out what kind of
treatment he plans to do, if it is curative or palliative. Then on Thursday, I
may have a six-hour treatment (an infusion). I don’t know what follows that.
In the meantime, I’m breathing much better due to the
liter of pleural fluid taken out on Tuesday.
