Had another chest x-ray today at my weekly doctor's appointment for the clinical study that I'm in. It revealed even more fluid around my lungs than last time. I have an appointment for tomorrow for another thoracentesis. My oncologist thinks that this may happen again so he suggested that I get a semi-permanent catheter installed for me to drain the fluid myself. This will be done probably next week. All this is most-likely due to the cancer that has spread around my lungs.
The endoscopy that I had a few days ago went OK - everything looked basically normal from what the gastroenterologist could see.
I'll try and take my own video of the procedure (in High Def!) if they'll let me.
Here's a good resource that I found.
