You had mentioned in a previous post that she is receiving chemotherapy - so I assume that she is currently under the care of an oncology team.

Perhaps you can ask her doctor whether she would benefit from a procedure called 'pleurodesis' - which involves a chest drain being inserted, and a substance (usually Bleomycin) is injected (via the drain) into the space between the lung and the chest wall.

Insha Allah, this would ensure that the fluid does not re-accumalate - so that she would not need repeat lung drainage, and it may help with her shortness of breathe as well.

(If you wish to read more about this procedure, before asking her doctor - you can refer here: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/canc...esis-treatment)



Allah (subhanawataála) is the closest, to all His servants who are afflicted by disease.
So, dont lose hope in His mercy.
Let this affliction be the means of you both drawing ever close to Allah......for this is all that He desires when He tests the ummah of Nabi (sallalahu alaihi wasalam).

Our duaas are with you and your wife during this difficult time.

Assalamu'alaikum, ukhti.

And Jazakillahu khayr for your information. Insha Allah I will talk about it to doctor, and also to my sister in-law (my wife older sister). She was a nurse in govt hospital before she's retired. I get many help from her in take care my wife.

I wrote my previous post when I back to my home. I've planned to talk about "pleurodesis" with the doctor after I back to the hospital. But I didn't need to talk about it, because one doctor already told my wife about this method.

However, the doctor who takecare my wife since the beginning decide to not use this method due to my wife condition. My wife still in chemotherapy process.

My wife got two chemotherapy, one was yesterday, one was this morning. She still need rest before can return to the home.

'Usual' medicine is like kill the disease with riffle. If the shot was accurate, the disease would be killed. Chemotherapy is like kill the disease with bomb. Although it kill the disease, the 'explosion' can affect the surrounding.

The common side effect of chemotherapy is lossing hair. Yes, it's happen to my wife. But it's okay, her hair can grow again, Insha Allah, and like I've said, whatever happen to my wife, I will always love her.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Yes, that's effect of chemotherapy. But how is she now?. I hope she is okay.

I will go to hospital to pick up my wife. She can back to the home now.

2003 ..... that's 9 years ago.

I'm glad to hear your mother now is okay. Alhamdulillah.

Although very very slowly, my wife condition is going better. Her lung still produce fluid but not so much again. Two days ago she went to hospital to drain her lung fluid. And she is not often feel pain on her legs again like before. And the most important, her mental is going stronger, she is not often sad again, and often smile now.

I know I cannot expect fast recovery, but at least slow progress is better than no progress. I hope this slow progress will always continue. I've promised her, when she has strong enough I will bring to visit park and other beautiful places. I hope I can fulfill this promise soon.

Log in again.

I logged out because my wife wanted to eat, .... in the afternoon. She ate gudeg, Javanese traditional food, that sent by her sister, and mango from my aunt.
