WATER ON THE LUNGS
Fluid that collects between the sheets of tissue that cover the outside of your lung and the lining of your chest cavity
The pleura is a membrane that covers your lungs. It consists of two layers and produces fluid that helps your lungs to move when you breathe. If cancer cells spread to the pleura then fluid can build up and press on your lungs, causing shortness of breath (dyspnoea). The fluid can be removed on a regular basis but, over time, this can be difficult.
