My mother (70) had this surgery last October and seemed to be doing well. However, in the past three months, she has been in and out of six hospitals with fluid around the heart and lungs (causing breathing difficulty), enlarged lymph nodes and racing heart at times. Fluid gets drained but continues to build up. Multiple tests/xrays done but doctors are stumped. The only thing that makes sense is that it could be related to her LB (the only thing that is new). She has not seen her LB doctor since all this started but he was aware of one admission and ordered a test to check for leakage in esophagus, stomach. No problem there. Anyone out there heard of these types of problems after LB?
