It sounds like you've been through a lot recently. Yes, others have experienced similar procedures. One member shared that they had their right lung drained twice: the first time, 3/4 liter of fluid was removed, and the second time, 1/2 liter. They mentioned that the procedure did not hurt and that they felt better and could breathe more easily afterward. It's common to feel wary, but many find relief from the procedure. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
