Hi Doctor, my uncle has stage four pancreatic cancer.  He has had fluid drained from his lungs.  I believe he needs to have this procedure done again.  He also has constant dripping from his nose and eyes, is this related to the fluid buildup in his lungs?  If so is there anything that can be done to provide relief to him.
