Pleural effusion malignancy

Hi i had breast cancer in 2021 now i have in my pleura. I just want to know if is someone here with this diagnosis.Unfortunately is inoperable 

  • Hello Ramo69

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been told that your breast cancer has spread to the pleura. I'm sure this was difficult news to hear and I hope you're being well supported by family, friends and health professionals. 

    I'm unsure if we have any members currently active in the community who have this same kind of spread but hopefully you will be able to connect with others who understand how it can be living with a stage 4 diagnosis soon. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

    Sending you my best wishes,

    I had breast cancer back in 2005, mastectomy and tamoxifen then back to normal until 2023 when I had breathing issues, fluid in pleura tested malignant.

    Now on immunotherapy and Letrozole.

    Stage four and inoperable.
