Default Pleurodesis anybody?
I bookended 2016 with a collapsed lung in January and in December, so a chemical (talc) pleurodesis is in store in a couple of weeks.

Has anybody had a pleurodesis? I'm curious about long term effectiveness in preventing spontaneous pneumothorax, and any side effects.

Thanks for any comments.
