Hello,
Stage four lung cancer may treat with combined chemo and radiotherapy is useful. But prognosis may vary depending upon the type of cancer, stage of cancer etcetera. Probably you develop malignant pleural effusion, so they drained effusion and did pleurodesis. Please consult your oncologist for further queries.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
