Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
The tube should be there in situ till hydropneumothorax settles. It is not necessary for it to be removed before chemo. She can undergo the same at scheduled time.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Thanks.
