Talc Pleuradesis

antsinthisdance

Just wondering if anyone has had Talc Pleuradesis ? I have had 2 pleural effusions within a couple of months that required draining.... and have now been advised by my onc and Thoracic guys to have this procedure, which sounds very invasive and painful. 
would love to have any feedback from anyone who has had this procedure. Thanks in advance
