Hi,

I'd be interested to hear the experiences of fellow Mesothelioma patients who've had a pleurx catheter fitted.

Thanks

Hi Barrie,

I couldn't find any recent discussions from Mesothelioma patients about pleurx catheters but I wanted to put you in touch with a few of our members with this diagnosis in case you wanted to chat about what you're going through and support each other on your journeys. NanDi is new to the forum and just found out she has this and Vikf's dad was diagnosed in February. You can read their discussion about Mesothelioma and you may want to join in on as well.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help but do give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to have a chat with someone about pleurx catheters.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi All,
Unfortunately my father passed on 13 April shortly after his diagnosis. I am happy to answer any questions you may have if it will help.
