Had my biopsy done on Weds morning and then in the afternoon had the fluid drained, he took out a liter and a half said I was operating on one lung. My problem now is I am so sore from the procedure, which is not suppose to happen so am wondering did he hit a nerve or punture the lung?? I called there yesterday and was told to go to the ER and have a lung xray if it continues. My biggest problem is I can not lay on my side have to stay on my back and then it doesn't hurt, will see how it goes today and might have to go to the ER tomorrow.

Thought my coughing would stop too but that hasn't either. I will start my clinical trial on July 23rd. Have to redo the cat scan and mri of the the brain within 3 weeks of the trial but can have that done locally insteed of traveling 6 hours. Dr Albertini will be doing the trial for me. BTW the wedding was wonderful, I cried a couple of times only.

Agree that even a needle biopsy can badly irritate a nerve. The one they did on my lungs (thru my back) made it hard for me to lay on my back for over a year. It is now essentially no bother. i do have a cough of a very thick mucous that the ENT doctor thinks may be GERD (I'm not as sure as he is.) If the cough is too irritating, I would get it checked out further.

I am pretty sure that this cough is from the mets in my lungs, I have to call my GP tomorrow and see if he will renew my script for the cough, constantly clearing my throat, Sorry you had a hard time for a year, mine is getting better.
