This really got my attention, as My Sweet Lady went to the Bridge through chylothorax. When someone has a chance, will you please explain what the surgery does? No surgery was ever offered to us. My Sweet Lady was being treated with Rutin and presnisolone, and her chest was tapped only once. i found her in the bedroom doorway when I awoke one morning; it appeared as though she'd started to walk out of the room and simply walked out of her body. Her chylothorax was idiopathic. I'd arranged for an MRI, but the doctor at that center called Lady's doctor and said the duct that was leaking probably wouldn't show on the MRI as the duct is transparent. On the combined doctors' advice, I canceled the MRI.

I really would appreciate knowing the details of Louie's case.
