He is 65 and he has not started his chemo or radiation yet.I thought that loss of appetite was because of treatment .Since he was only diagnosed last week he hasnt begun treatment yet.I just want to know if this is part of cancer.I not really asking an in depth question just curious is this a normal part of lung cancers progression?

My brother had difficulty breathing, pain upon taking deep breath, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite. Thickening and fluid was found on his right pleura. He discribed the fluid as looking like Budweiser—-amber colored and foamy. He also has pleural thickening, all on the right side.I have read the color of the fluid is characteristic of transudate which may indicate congestive heart failure.
The doctor suspects mesothelioma, but the fluid does not appear cloudy( exudate).
