Cancer in the lining of my left lung

Lesley63 — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 23:03:27 GMT

Hi there

This my first message

I was diagnosed with cancerous cells in the lining of my left lung on Tuesday

I have started immunotherapy last Wednesday

I had Lobular cancer in my left breast in 2023

I would like to know if anyone has had the sterile talc powder procedure to the lung??

I had a LT of fluid drained from my left lung the other day

if I’m doing this wrong please let me know

Hi @Lesley63

I am very sorry to hear you are unwell.

I don't have cancer of the lung, but I just wanted to greet you and say hi.

I hope you are ok.

Making treatment decisions and wondering if you're doing the right thing is natural given the gravity of what you're facing. Here are a couple of resources that might help you.... this one talks to the talc procedure you mention. Here also is another resource on immunotherapy that may help.
